As a response to the outbreak of COVID-19, and the ongoing pressure for enhanced hygiene, I created ‘The 2m Café’; “Ultimately the aim is to explore how people can safely re-enter the public realm”. After considering this, and how we are all going about day-to-day life now, the ‘2m rule’ seemed a perfect concept for a fun and experimental café design. * shortlisted in Bompas & Parr's 'Fountain of Hygiene' competition *
