Mask Envy
This LED Mask Can Light Up Any Room
Daftboy designer Timothy Cochran created this fabulous piece
This story is part of our new series “Mask Envy,” where we showcase San Franciscans’ creativity and take a look at some of the coolest masks spotted around the city. Have a look you want to submit? Email info@thebolditalic.com.
There’s a lot you can do to make a mask stand out — patterns, paint, embellishments — but to make a true standout among the strongest standouts, you gotta make it shine.
That’s what Timothy Cochran, founder and designer of Bay Area-based company Daftboy, decided to do with this fiber-optic mask. The fiber-optic fabric and battery are fully contained within the mask, so you can light up the room wherever you are. More recently, Daftboy released an LED “smart mask” that allows you to input custom words and designs across the fabric.
We asked Cochran more about Daftboy and his showstopping masks.
