As the Paul Cocksedge Studio thinks of contemporary design as an event, it is fitting that their response to current conditions would be to create a template for socializing at a safe distance. This useful guide for post-quarantine socializing ensures that social distancing is practiced. Cocksedge calls this a “democratic piece of design,” as its pattern can be downloaded and it can easily be made from any kind of fabric. His version is made from felt but the possible varieties selected by users could be quite interesting.
