Glass Tanning Beach Booths

Italian Manufacturer Unveils Transparent Cubicles for Social Distancing

— May 11, 2020 — Art & Design
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many brands are curating innovating concepts that will allow citizens to return to the activities they enjoy during the new era of social distancing — including an Italian Manufacturer, Nuova Neon Group. The brand recently debuted 15 square-foot transparent cubicles designed to let families safely enjoy the beach without fear of spreading or catching any viruses.

The plexiglass tanning booths were designed to be set up in clusters, with openings measuring 1.5 meters that are 3 meters apart from each other. So far, the concept is in "phase 2" at Romagna beach, and the cubicles each include an umbrella and two tanning chairs for sunbathing and play.
