This Sneeze Screen has been designed by a Melbourne studio to protect essential workers like baristas, retailers and health sector workers from Covid-19 germs. Paul Loh and David Leggett both trained as architects in the UK and are now based in Melbourne where they started Power to Make with an ethos to: “capitalise on digital technology to produce highly crafted objects which are customisable and yet comparable in price to mass-produced items”.
The screen is simple in design and assembly, consisting of an acrylic sheet with two plywood legs, which can be easily cut and sent with free delivery within Australia. The design has also been released as a digital file on Creative Commons so that anyone with a CNC Router or Laser Cutter can make their own.
If you buy the ready-made version at 60 x 58 cm, the timber is made from FSC certified furniture grade Birch plywood and finished with wood oil. Or you can request a custom size be made just for you.
