Wallpaperさんのインスタグラム写真 - (WallpaperInstagram)「This portable, modular handwashing station, by @nmbello_studio, has been named Life-Enhancer of the Year in the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2021. ⁠ ⁠ When Lagos-based designer Nifemi Marcus-Bello (@nmbello1) asked local medical professionals to identify the challenges of fighting Covid-19, they told him that effective handwashing can be difficult at overburdened healthcare facilities. His solution was a handwashing station created using readily available materials, with the help of local artisans: ‘For the community, By the community’.⁠ ⁠ The station’s frame of tubular steel, the same material used for local hospital beds, can be replicated by any welder. The sink, bin and casing for the pump and touch-free sensor are created by local ceramists, though Marcus-Bello hopes to partner with a local recyclable plastic firm on future iterations. The design further incorporates caster wheels and standard-issue water kegs.⁠ ⁠ With a battery-powered pump that can run for 48 hours on a two-hour charge, the station can be pushed from ward to ward, offering an effective solution to a public health problem. It was partially funded by a grant received from @design.by.samuelross and @danielarsham⁠ ⁠ Read more on wallpaper.com, and see our other Judges Awards winners – selected by @isaacjulien, @sabine_marcelis, @christopherjohnrogers, Ivy Ross and Kjetil Trædal Thorsen – in our February issue, on newsstands now.⁠ ⁠ (📷: Kadara Enyeasi)⁠ ⁠ #wallpapermagazine #wallpaperdesignawards #handwashing #nmbellostudio #pandemicdesign #covid19 #design ⁠」1月10日 19時34分
