Architectural Face Masks

Zimarty's zMask Has a Compliant and Expressive Design

— October 22, 2020 — Art & Design
Designers are now improving upon the most basic face masks that have been getting people through the pandemic, introducing stylish and architectural face masks like the zMask. As a Los Angeles-based creator of 3D-printed jewelry, Zimarty is applying its expertise to protective face masks that are just as bold and expressive. The zMask is as fashionable as it is functional, as it meets CDC guidelines for COVID-19.

The mask boasts a folded 3D design that's comfortable for breathing and speaking, and its faceted form helps to reduce irritation around the mouth area. The mask is made from a washable paper material that's lightweight, adjustable and foldable, as well as easy to store and clean. Along with ear loops, the zMask is secured in place with a nose clip.
