PermaNet

This is a Project. It was designed by Vestergaard Frandsen and manufactured by Vestergaard Frandsen S.A.. It is dated 2000. Its medium is 100% polyester impregnated with deltamethrin (synthetic parathyroid).

PermaNet is a long-lasting, insecticide-treated mosquito net used in Africa by people who live among malarial mosquitoes. The net kills or repels mosquitoes for up to four years without losing effectiveness, even after twenty washes. Low re-treatment rates represent the biggest challenge in the fight against malaria, the infectious disease that kills more children than any other illness in Africa. Malaria kills millions each year, crippling economic growth in countries with high malaria transmission.

A fine dark red encircling fishing net made of machine manufactured tetoron polyester which consists of pairs of twisted threads that connect to form the net by crossing through each other in a series of repeating diamonds. The net is folded in a series of rippling bulges to show the strength and lightness of the polyester yarn and the fact that it is entirely knotless. In the mid-lower right is a small black rectangle that is filled with multi-colored squares of white, deep blue, orange, brown, green, peach, red, grey, pale blue, yellow, purple, magenta, lime, lilac, cyan, gold and turquoise.
