George Abira skillfully crafted special masks for Max, adding elegance and practicality with a snug fit to prevent fogging and vibrant Kenyan-themed masks for his father. What's your wish?
A request by Max from Berlin,
Mask with metal stripe on the nose.
I would like a mask which is very tight on my nose to prevent the fogging of glasses.
Without the metal stripe, my glasses get foggy very quickly when i breathe.
I created a very simple sample from an old T-Shirt (see fotos). The is taken metal stripe from a (in German: Heftstreifen). I would like a mask, where such a stripe can be integrated, but in a way that it can be removed before washing the mask or before putting it into the microwave-oven.
In addition, my father would like 5 normal masks with a design in the colors of the Kenian Flag.
