The Humble Fire Extinguisher Gets a Makeover

fire-design-extinguishers
If you find the old red and black fire extinguisher too boring for your tastes, you might want to consider one of these. The advantages of the fire extinguishers in the Fire Design lineup is that they look pretty cool and will blend in with the average swank ultra-modern hipster pad, or bar for that matter.

The disadvantage is that apart from the familiar triggers and nozzles, they don’t really stand out. The idea of the boring old design is that people know what to look for in the event that an actual fire breaks out, which means that these are worse at what they are supposed to do, thanks to those ultra-sexy designs.
