LOOK AT WORK.

A re-design of the fire extinguisher, which addresses problems with existing ones, while taking context into account. It focuses on dramatic form, but still maintains recognizability as a fire extinguisher, through the lever, safety pin, and color.

The pin acts as a visible barrier between the trigger and handle, so its purpose is more apparent.

The angle of the handle and curve of the body guide the user to correctly aim at the base of the fire.

The curve also creates a more comfortable gripping position for the other hand.

Sketches and foam models.

Final prototype.

Construction process included: shaping wooden base, vacuum-forming the shell, and fitting handle components.
