There's no pesky pin, just simply the removal of a clearly labeled safety lock that exposes its activation button. Moon Woojung and Shim Wonbo's life-saving submission for the 2012 iF Design Talents is a reworking of the common cylindrical canister, providing a much more [compact and portable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-charger) object that can be efficiently stored, carried and deployed. This slim rectangular device might usually be mounted on the wall of a building and removed quickly in the event of an emergency. An obvious red arrow suggests that the inner handle should be yanked from the Easy Trigger Fire Extinguisher before a [simple squeezing action](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spray-bottle-concept) sends foam through the attached black tube. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Effortless Fire Extinguishers:** Opportunity for developing intuitive and easy-to-use fire extinguishers. - **Compact Fire Fighting Devices:** Opportunity for reimagining the design and size of fire extinguishers and other safety devices. - **Smart Emergency Equipment:** Opportunity for integrating technology to make emergency equipment smarter, intuitive, and easy to operate. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Safety and Emergency Equipment Manufacturing:** Opportunity for creating innovative and effective safety and emergency equipment for residential and commercial use. - **Hospitality Industry:** Opportunity for providing compact and intuitive fire extinguishers for use in hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality establishments. - **Construction Industry:** Opportunity for designing and implementing smart, easy-to-use fire extinguishers and safety devices for construction sites. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shield-Style Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hussechuck-and-shield.md) - [Sustainable Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkfire-ltd.md) - [In-House Fire Prevention Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-fighter.md) - [Sleek Smartphone-Inspired Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitt-flashlight.md) - [Minimal Spray Bottle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nube.md) - [Fire Suppression Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-detection-and-suppression.md) - [Disaster Safety Home Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tritona-series.md) - [Compact Flashlight Design Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fl1-flashlight.md) - [Accessible Self-Sealing Soap Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dawn-ezsqueeze.md)
