This flower-vase is also a fire-extinguisher - Yanko Design

As useful every bit they are, burn-extinguishers are also designed to be besides utilitarian and technical. They're stored in attics and shop-rooms, considering they aren't especially aesthetic, and working them unremarkably requires knowing how to operate them.

Even though laws dictate that all homes in South korea demand to have a fire extinguisher, equally many as 58% of them don't… and the ones that do, have them lying in hard-to-accomplish places. In order to equip Koreans with a production that's easy to employ, and can sit in one'due south house in obviously sight, Samsung Burn & Marine Insurance partnered with Cheil Worldwide to design the Firevase. A double-walled flower-vase with potassium carbonate filled in the sealed hollow space. The Firevase works like any normal vase, allowing you to place flowers in its inner container, while the hollow space holds the potassium carbonate which looks like h2o… but in the outcome of an emergency, the vase becomes your burn extinguisher. Designed to exist thrown at a fire, the vase shatters when it hits the floor or a wall, allowing the potassium carbonate to spill out. The Potassium Carbonate starts a rapid cooling reaction that suppresses oxygen, somewhen putting out the fire.

Fabricated to wait aesthetically pleasing, and take a user experience that's much simpler than working a complex fire extinguisher, the Firevase can put out a fire by just existence thrown at it… like a Molotov cocktail, but with the accented contrary outcome! Plus, the fact that it's well-designed and has a home-friendly aesthetic ways the unsuspecting fire-extinguisher volition sit down around your house in plain sight, storing flowers when you want, and assuasive you to fight fire when you demand!
