Smells
and the
transparent
respirator mask ’Primair’
For the bachelor thesis I chose the topic ‘Smells’. One part of the thesis was
an extensive research about smells. The research contained questions like:
What are smells? How do humans and animals smell? How do we perceive
smells and where are smells used?
For the research I experimented with smells and generated several different
concepts.
Smelling has a lot to do with breething. Some substances that we are inhalating
are extremely harmful. That was the reason why I decided to design a respiration
mask.
Usual respirator masks cover a great part of the humans’ face, also the mouth,
whichis important for the mimic and the nonverbal communication.
‘Primair’ is a transparent respirator mask which could be used in
everyday’s life.
