Fire Design

Fire Design, a french company, makes unique, artfully designed fire extinguishers. Roughly translated from their site:

"Innovative concept and unique in Europe, the Fire design is a security apparatus that enables you to combat any outbreak of fire and protect domestic and your family best.

A fire of any kind is very quickly the extent and can turn into fire,
so the Fire design must become an inescapable subject of your
decoration. Coupled with a smoke detector, you can ensure the safety of
your loved ones. Depending on your wishes, it will melt in your
decoration or captivate all eyes.

More than a fire
extinguisher, Fire design also offers a range of guarantees and new
services in the world of fire safety in particular."

I want them ALL!

These are fun! So much less of an eyesore! I think this would actually inspire me to buy one finally. :-)

Here's how this will play out.

Narrator: Two unsuspecting friends walk down their very modern and stylish apartment hallway towards their room when they come across a neighbors door which has smoke pouring from the all sides. Without hesitation they swing open the door and find a woman, their neighbor, passed out from what appears to be smoke inhalation. She is unconscious and the two friends need to act fast...

Friend Number 1: Oh my god! A fire! It's starting to spread!Friend Number 2: Call 911 and help this lady. I'll see what I can do about the fire.

Narrator: As the second friend scrambles into the kitchen looking for something to aid him in putting out the blaze, he completely overlooks the yellow and pink retro styled extinguisher hanging near the pantry door. The blaze gets larger, and larger. He has no choice but to submit to the smoldering heat and lashing flames and help friend number one escape with their neighbor.

Years of cultural adaptation have taught us that a fire extinguisher is red. Like many other examples it is that way for a reason.

I wouldn't respond quick enough to a pastel colored road barricade. I wouldn't yield to an ambulance siren that is in fact a remix of Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique".

Let some things be.

Austrian architect Adolf Loos once said "ornament is crime".In this case it could very well be.

Who in their right minds would buy this stuff? At first glance I thought it was a flask.

[Emma]

someone who´s not stuck in the past ;) Id rather have one of these in my kitchen drawer than a plain screaming red one (which is the only availibly in sweden, what I know)

[Ed Resek]

To be honest, yes: these are better looking. But no: they should not be allowed to sell extinguishers in all colours... EXCEPT:

What is already standard for example Red for water, Black for CO2, I think Blue for foam etc etc...

In my opinion, as long as they stick to the internationally recognised colour schemes then they can fiddle with designs as much as they want.

[Jon]

I think people that want these should be allowed to have them. It will help Natural Selection weed out the idiots who put style before safety.

[Billy Adrian]

good idea, i like it

[Briana]

That's assuming that the only people who would get hurt are the people who own the fire extinguisher.

[garzatim90]

How would I buy one of these

[johanna]

Actually there are black and white glossy versions available in some interior design stores.

[Mr. carriage clocks]
