Ventaglio Portable Protective Screen

From disinfection booths to isolation kiosks and cubicle partitions, companies around the globe are looking for ways to keep their employees safe against the deadly coronavirus. But not every office will have something to protect you and in that case, you have to bring your own.

Last week, Milan-based design studio DesignLibero introduced the Ventaglio, a portable protective screen to help you observe physical distancing. The screen, which folds and unfolds like a hand fan, can be used in a variety of environments, including libraries, offices, banks, and restaurants. What I like about it is that it is created using translucent polyethylene, so it doesn't make you feel too isolated from others.

Hmmm... Office lunches are going to look very awkward.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.
