Firephant
A friend of mine came up with the idea that fire extinguishers can be beautiful. I realized that not only did people stow their extinguishers away in places where they were not seen (and not at hand in case of fire), they also found it hard to understand and were reluctant to using it. Firephant is designed from the users perspective. Self-explanatory and easy to use. And most importantly its appearance it not to stow away. Firephant 1kg and 2kg powder extinguishers are the first two products from Firephant. Designed in cooperation with Jonas Forsman.
