# Appliance-Style Extinguishers The Fireguard Blends into Your Kitchen to Remain Ever-Ready By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fireguard References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/02/25/the-fireguard/) & [jongrossman](http://www.jongrossman.com/) Fire extinguishers are often considered unsightly items, so the Fireguard was designed differently. While this sort of equipment is often tucked away in a cupboard or forgotten in a closet, Jon Grossman's concept version would be something you could comfortably leave out on your [countertop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwo-oven-and-multicooker). The body of the flame retardant device appears to be modelled loosely on the [contemporary electric kettle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-instantheating-water-dispenser). It has a smooth and streamlined shell of white glossy material and a flattened handle that can be easily pulled out to activate the Fireguard. In the event of a controllable [domestic blaze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-firepit), just grasp the handgrip and press the small red button with your thumb to release the CO2 powder. A pair of removable canisters within the Fireguard enable you to simply refill the device as needed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 12% | 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 - **Kitchen-friendly Fire Extinguishers:** Designing fire extinguishers that blend seamlessly with kitchen appliances and can be left out on countertops. - **Aesthetic Fire Safety Equipment:** Creating fire safety devices that have a sleek and streamlined design, making them visually appealing. - **Refillable Fire Suppression Devices:** Developing fire extinguishers with removable canisters, allowing for easy refilling as needed. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance:** Incorporating fire extinguishers as part of the home appliance industry, offering consumers both safety and convenience. - **Interior Design:** Collaborating with interior designers to create fire extinguishers that seamlessly blend into various home decor styles. - **Safety Equipment:** Innovating in the safety equipment industry by reimagining the design of fire extinguishers to be more visually appealing and user-friendly. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shield-Style Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hussechuck-and-shield.md) - [Monochromatic Handle-Hiding Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hide-oven.md) - [Mini Kitchen Cooking Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokir-cooking-curifier.md) - [Sustainable Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkfire-ltd.md) - [Ai-Powered Recipe-Generating Appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo.md) - [Contemporary Smart Cooker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ods.md) - [Compact Kitchen Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bake-ultra.md) - [Gravy-Filled Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravy-extinguisher.md) - [Storage-Equipped Extractor Hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extractor-hood.md)
