Umberto Menasci

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

b. 1972, Rome, Italy; lives and works in Rome, Italy

SafeBeach, 2020

Lexan

Perhaps his early legal training instigated Umberto Menasci’s current project, SafeBeach, enabling sun worshipers to enjoy beaches while respecting the new practices regarding social distancing. A grid of outdoor rooms, open to the sky, made of Lexan, allows for two lounge chairs, and one large umbrella, and a small table in each unit.
