This fire extinguisher design, by Woo Seok Park, is just stunning. Truth be told, I’m a huge sucker for this Bjorkian design aesthetic. I like this so much I wish I could give it a permanent place on this homepage.
Here’s how it works:
To reduce the required handling of the fire extinguisher, the user needs only pull down the cover from the extinguisher’s base, and a powder capsule will emerge from an opening. The user rolls or throws the capsule towards the fire. The capsule, made of a material that reacts to high temperatures, will explode when it reaches the fire. Thus, the user does not need to get close to the fire in order to put it out. The elasticized body of the capsule enables it to absorb shock when it is thrown.
