Face masks have become a global standard over 2020 due the effects of the coronavirus. However, some designers have seen this as a time to be creative and experiment — and a company named Blanc has done exactly that. Blanc have crafted a full face shield that replicates the helmets worn by pioneering dance music duo Daft Punk.
The egg-like shaped masks have an opaque black strip for the wearer to peer out of while keeping their identity a secret. Masks are available in black, white, red, yellow, green, pink and blue. The mask is set to grab the attention of Daft Punk fans and sci-fi heads, it’s backed up by a substantial amount of protective performance as well. Two interchangeable HEPA filters certified by SGS are loaded in, and purify 99.7% of dust particles the wearer may come into contact with.
Blanc’s Daft Punk mask was put on Kickstarter with a funding goal of $20K USD — it’s currently sitting at $194,747 USD. Interested parties can put down $79 USD to secure their own mask now, with orders shipping early next year.
