FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Inspired by the tragic story of a young refugee, designer Xudong Cai has created Shadow, a multifunctional lifesaving blanket aimed at improving the survival chances of refugees facing extreme conditions. This innovative product serves as a life blanket, life jacket, and simple sleeping bag, providing essential support during migration and emergencies.
Shadow is designed to address the challenges faced by refugees, offering buoyancy assistance, warmth, and shelter. The product's high-frequency heat-sealing technology ensures durability and waterproofing, making it an essential tool for marine rescue, disaster relief, and emergency situations.
Measuring 500*200*150 in its folded state and 2000*1500*5 in its expanded state, Shadow is a versatile and practical solution for refugees in need of immediate assistance.

By integrating industry best practices and innovative design, Shadow was honored with the Iron A' Design Award in 2020, recognizing its practicality and contribution to a better world.
