New mask by designer Tokujin Yoshioka combines beautiful form and mask performance
February 21, 2021, Kuala Lumpur – Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of AIRism 3D MASK, a new version of its AIRism Mask combining performance with a three-dimensional aesthetic beauty in a seamless design. This new offering from LifeWear brand UNIQLO allows everyone to be more comfortable at a time when masks have become an essential part of everyday life. AIRism 3D MASK will be available at all UNIQLO stores in Malaysia and through uniqlo.com from Monday, February 28.
3D beauty achieved by trialing more than 100 patterns with designer Tokujin Yoshioka
The challenge of designing a new mask was undertaken by Tokujin Yoshioka, the internationally renowned, award-winning designer who has given the world numerous exceptional product designs. The final form, completed after repeated trialing of more than 100 patterns, features a clean three-dimensional feel and sharp face line. âA beautiful design must be simple and innovative, as well as functional. I hope the experience of wearing this mask makes everyday life more beautiful and positive,â says Yoshioka, illustrating the UNIQLO LifeWear philosophy.
Mask performance using a nonwoven filter with a seamless design for a beautiful face line
The inside layer against the skin, which greatly affects mask comfort, is made of smooth and silky AIRism. The triple layer construction, with a nonwoven filter for the middle layer, provides a bacterial filtration efficiency of 99%, blocking droplets, bacteria, virus-contaminated particles, and pollen.1Â The unique seamless construction reduces uncomfortable friction against the skin. Furthermore, the clean face line gives a stylish impression when worn.
Ear adjusters further enhance the merits of the unique 3D design
AIRism 3D MASK employs a bonding technology that adds a stiffness to the fabric, and a seamless manufacturing process. This helps retain the shape of the mask, while the 3D design lessens the pressure against the lips, making breathing and conversation easier. An additional feature of the mask is the newly developed ear adjusters that allow the fit to be adjusted to the userâs preference. This reduces irritation around the ears, maintaining comfort even when worn for long periods.
Beautiful form and nonwoven filter performance retained even after 20 washings
Since masks are something that people wear on a daily basis, UNIQLO focused on developing washable types from the standpoint of sustainability. AIRism 3D MASK uses interlining cloth to retain the maskâs unique three-dimensional aesthetic beauty. Like the previous AIRism Mask, the mask can be machine washed (using a laundry net). Tests conducted by a professional testing agency demonstrated that the nonwoven filter in the center of the triple layer construction retained its effectiveness even after 20 washings.

Pen down your support for Singapore farms and produce, purchase farm-fresh goodness and learn more through mini games
Singapore, 16 February 2022â A group of Nanyang Technological University students are shining the spotlight on Singapore-grown produce through a pop-up booth on the weekend of 26th and 27th February. The pop-up is hosted and held in collaboration with Open Farm Community, Singaporeâs foremost urban farm and restaurant concept. Aside from purchasing some ready-to-eat and fresh local produce, and other items, patrons can also learn more about local farms through mini games at the booth or pen down their support on display boards.

This is part of the 3-month campaign that the NTU team, Fresh off the Dot, is running. Through interactions with local farmers and a survey* conducted with 203 parents in December, it was found that many are unaware that our city-state has over 200 farms. This insight kickstarted the teamâs ambition to increase appreciation for local produce in Singapore. Matching well with Open Farm Community’s vision to strengthen understanding and respect for food and its origins, the event serves as a timely response to the growing disconnect between people and their food.
âSupporting local is one of the best single steps you can take to better your personal health, connect with your community and make a more environmentally responsible choice,â says Oliver Truesdale-Jutras, Executive Chef at Open Farm Community. âInformed purchasing is the most potent power that most people don’t realise they have.â The restaurant was awarded the Michelin Plate in 2021, and the food at Open Farm Community is an ode to our Singaporean roots marrying sustainable passion and gastronomic flair.
Situated outside and separate from the dining area at Open Farm Community, the Fresh off the Dot booth will be open from 11am to 3.30pm and 6pm to 9pm over the weekend of 26th and 27th February. Educational materials will be available for the public to learn about some of Singapore’s farms and produce, as well as mini games such as crossword puzzles and mix-and-match activities. There will also be a “Why We Support Local Produce ” board where patrons can show their support through messages on post-its.
Aside from educational activities, items will also be available for purchase at the booths. This includes fresh produce and ready to eat items such as The Fish Farmerâs Mala and Teriyaki Mullet Fillet, Egg Story Nitamago Ramen Eggs and Tamagoyaki (Japanese Egg Roll), Jurong Frog Farmâs Premium Snowdrop Hashima bottles and The Local Farm Pack 2022 (a 100% fresh local produce subscription pack). For those with green fingers, they can try out Kin Yan Agrotechâs Mushroom Growing Kit. As part of the booth, Open Farm Communityâs very own farm will also have their products on display, and patrons can now purchase Open Farm Communityâs farm-grown produce, seeds and seedlings to take home and recreate their own urban farm.
Joining in the event is Urban Origins, an urban food marketplace that connects communities with the nearest and most sustainable food sources, offering Singapore’s residents direct access to healthier and more nutritious alternatives on a single online platform. At the booth, Urban Origins will be featuring artisanal and plant-based products from local food producers.
Weekend Brunch â Genting Tomato Salad
âWe hope that through our event, families visiting Open Farm Community will leave the place with a little something that they learnt about local produce. Young children will be leaders of our next generation, and it would be great to start educating them about Singaporeâs farms and food security at a young ageâ says Ms Madeline Tan, from the NTU team. Their campaign was launched as part of a Final Year Project at Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information in late December of last year.
Ă la carte Menu: OFC Farm Eggplant, Karana green jackfruit, cashew, wild pepper
While the booth is open to the public, visits to the booth do not guarantee seats at the restaurant as they operate independently. Open Farm Community strongly advises interested parties to make a reservation if they want to get the full local produce experience, as dine-in crowds can get busy on weekends.
For more information, please visit Open Farm Communityâs website or Fresh off the Dotâs Facebook and Instagram. For Open Farm Community dine-in reservations, kindly visit this link here. Open Farm Community is located at 130E Minden Rd, Singapore 248819.
