Being isolated from the world at home while trying to adapt to a sudden and drastic change in daily life can be difficult, especially when there is only one topic on everyone’s mind. Studio Bompas & Parr, in partnership with Design Museum in London, is inviting designers, including aspiring youngsters under 18, to participate in their “Fountain of Hygiene” sanitizer design competition. Winners will get displayed in the Design Museum, with successful projects auctioned off by Christie’s, where proceeds will benefit the British Red Cross.
The competition aims to “explore the aesthetic, functional, social, gestural, and experiential possibilities of enhanced hygiene,” with the hope that it will accelerate the adoption of new behaviors and the exploration of how people can safely return to the public realm.
