Thalassic Masks, 2022
Design by Filippo Nassetti and Vincenzo Reale
……
The Thalassic Masks project focuses on re-thinking the protective mask, transforming a medical product, born in a state of emergency, into a design statement expressing contemporary identities. Drawing inspiration from marine forms, Thalassic combines biomimetic design techniques, additive manufacturing, and physiological analysis to create a new breed of masks, as well as rethink the relationship between technology, in the form of wearable objects, and the human body.
In that sense the scope of the Thalassic Masks project goes beyond the products themselves, but it is a reflection on how our lives are transformed by the dramatic and sudden global events of these years. This project was carried out within the framework of Re-FREAM, part of the EU funded STARTS Programme (Science + Technology + Arts). The Thalassic design team is composed of artists Filippo Nassetti and Vincenzo Reale, in collaboration with Stratasys, Empa, Haratech and Creative Region Linz.
