In anticipation of today’s increased safety requirements, MYKITA has released the GUARD ONE, a protective eyewear shield with anti-fog technology. The eyewear piece has been developed with medical practitioners to optimise functionality and wearing comfort. Worn with other Personal Protection Equipment, such as face and respiratory masks, the protective shield works to reduce the risk of viral infection. Both EN166 and ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 certified and manufactured to the highest standards in Germany, GUARD ONE combines personal protection with the aesthetic principles of award-winning eyewear design, and it’s relevant to anyone living or working in conditions where prolonged social contact is necessary and maintaining recommended safety distances is not always possible. This includes healthcare workers and opticians, as well as professionals in hospitality, retail, and the beauty & wellness industry to name a few.
With an exchangeable shield and a sporty design language, the versatile GUARD ONE can be worn as clear safety glasses or a protective sunshield whenever functional eye protection is necessary – in the lab or workshop, during outdoor activities and sports. In contrast to conventional safety glasses, GUARD ONE is a reusable protective eyewear shield optimised to be worn over most eyeglasses and/or in combination with other Personal Protection Equipment, especially face and respiratory masks. Adaptable, exceptionally lightweight and durable, the shield frame is made of MYLON, an innovative material developed in 2010 by MYKITA. This high-tech, laser-sintered material makes an ergonomically formed yet hingeless design possible and ensures comfortable long-term wear. The expansive wraparound lens shield completely covers the eye area to ensure optimal protection and clear, fog-free vision at all times. The GUARD ONE can be purchased at MYKITA stores across the planet, but if you don’t reside near one, you can also order one online.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
