Design Justice, when Good Design helps the underserved and the planet.
SEEUS95 changing the future of facemasks so we don’t pollute the environment, include the underserved deaf and hearing impaired, and give people back their humanity by seeing faces again. SEEUS95 Transparent respirator is a radical alternative in face masks. It is reusable clear soft silicone and it sticks to your face so you can even wear it without a head strap or ear-loops! The face mask hasn’t changed in 100 years and we aim to revolutionize the facemask industry with transparency and superhero like design.
Originally invented in a kitchen during the 2020 pandemic lock down in Manhattan. After pains taking design development during pandemic industry challenges, Korean female founder and CEO Alice Min Soo Chun invented and mass produced and delivered the SEEUS95 transparent mask to thousands of Kickstarters that supported their campaign. We believe GOOD Design should protect and celebrate our faces. This is innovation at it’s best by problematizing the solution instead of looking for a solution to a problem. We saw injustice happening with masks, starting from catastrophic waste with 129 BILLION masks thrown into land fills each year. Most N95 masks are made from polypropylene which last over 450 years in the oceans. Our faces, emotions and smiles matter.
