Project Description

There are fire extinguishers worldwide, always the same, red, a cylinder, a nozzle.
But always the same dissonance with their surroundings.
They are discordant with the environments we create.

We hide them in cabinets and alcoves or create elaborate ways to conceal them but somehow still try to show that they are there.
Why do we accept that something so out of place cannot be changed? Sometimes it’s just history.
Three visionary people, designers, and architects Přemysl Kokeš, David Rosinai, Zuzana Ambrožová took three years to reconstruct test, and manufacture the new Hussechuck / Shield (“Hussechuck” with cover).
These products are made for architects, interior designers, upmarket commercial premises, majestic buildings, and public spaces that want to maintain their image and design integrity without hiding the fire extinguisher.
The designers create concepts to fit the environment and can customize each shield to blend in.
They do this with metallic finishes, textures, fabrics, artistic renders, and pictures.

They have created a rescue point that can not only put out fires but can hold equipment like defibrillators, masks, and first aid.
These designs are effective, with up to 6kg of the most effective extinguishing agent, delivered behind a shield, with a mask that could save your life.
But they are also something else, they are beautiful renditions, artistic pieces designed to be seen, lived with, and placed in plain sight.
Amplla is design simplicity, the evolution of the fire extinguisher, which is the world‘s flattest, operatable with only one hand, intuitive, and perfectly ergonomic.
It can be equipped with light and sound as well.

The company prides itself in the aesthetics of innovation, the creation of change, and a synergistic approach to living safely.
The designers have developed, patented, and certified the best fire extinguishers in the world that have 22 improvements and will better protect their owners.
They have built a manufacturing plant where these products are handcrafted.
They gave birth to the AMPLLA brand derived from the word “amplification.” By expanding and amplifying the capabilities of fire extinguishers, for the first time they are truly unique, different, and beautiful.
