The 'problem' with making safety devices trendy is the public is more likely to confuse them for something else. Safety items, like fire extinguishers, defibrillators, and the emergency call number "nine one one", need to be recognized without a second thought. If the EXIT sign in the building could be any design then many people would have to think too hard in a panic time. The benefit of having emergency equipment and notification would be diminished.

Yeah, but remember - Fire Design is a French company, and the French don't panic.

Safety be damned- these are fantastic looking. Hell, I want to put one in every room of my apartment. What could be safer than that?

After taking a look at all these designer fire extinguishers, I just decided to buy for the safet of my house.
