In the spring of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic strained healthcare systems around the world, we at Love 2 Design<\/strong> decided we wouldn\u2019t stand idly by. Instead of pausing our work, we redirected our efforts toward producing protective face shields<\/strong>for frontline medical workers. And we did it not as a business, but as an act of solidarity and compassion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

An idea born from empathy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all began as part of the #ForTheGood (#\u0417\u0410\u0414\u041e\u0411\u0420\u041e\u0422\u041e) campaign<\/strong>. In just a few days \u2013 thanks to social media shares, support from people across the country, and a collective effort \u2013 we managed to produce nearly 1,300 protective shields<\/strong>, with over 1,500 requests submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used an open-source design<\/strong>, originally developed by Slovak volunteers. The shields were lightweight, comfortable, easy to disinfect, and suitable for repeated use<\/strong>. At a time when many hospitals were struggling with shortages of protective gear, this initiative became a small but meaningful contribution<\/strong> to the people risking their health every day.<\/p>\n\n\n

A donation, not a business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the very beginning, we made it clear: the shields were not for sale<\/strong>. We donated them free of charge to medical professionals<\/strong>in urgent need of protection. We created an online request form and encouraged everyone to act responsibly \u2013 so the shields could reach as many people as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

With the Support of the Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We extend our sincere thanks to Rotary Club Shumen<\/strong>, who supported us financially by providing funds for materials. Some of the first batches of face shields were delivered for testing to Shumen General Hospital (MBAL Shumen)<\/strong>, while the rest were distributed among various medical facilities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a true example of the power of collaboration between design, community, and a meaningful cause<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Design is also a responsibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe that design goes far beyond aesthetics<\/strong>. In challenging moments like the pandemic, it can become a social force, a practical tool, and a conduit for human connection<\/strong>.\nThrough this project, we showed that we are not only a studio for interior and product design, but also a team with a mission \u2013 and a heart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
