Lead
[edit]Amplla is a Czech industrial design and manufacturing company based in Hlinsko, known for producing portable fire extinguishers characterized by a flat, non-cylindrical form factor.[1]. The company's products, including Amplla The SafeRing and Amplla The SafeMaker, integrate fire safety requirements with aesthetics intended for visible installation in interiors, as a deliberate departure from the traditional industrial design of fire extinguishers[2].
History
[edit]Amplla a.s. was founded in 2019 by architect Přemysl Kokeš. The product concept was co-developed with architect Zuzana Ambrožová and designer David Rosinai[3].
The design originated from Kokeš’s observation, following his personal experience with a fire in 2017, that conventional cylindrical fire extinguishers were often hidden due to their appearance, thereby impeding access during emergencies[4]. Kokeš serves as the Chairman of the Board, and the company is led by CEO Michal Popov[5]. The company primarily targets the B2B market, focusing on architecture and high-end interior projects[6].
Products and Design
[edit]Amplla’s products are defined by their flat, circular pressure vessel design, which departs from the standard industrial cylinder.
Form Factor and Operation
[edit]The core product, Amplla The SafeRing, is a toroid or ring-shaped extinguisher, with a mounted depth of approximately 80–82 mm[7]. This form factor is intended to allow for installation in areas such as narrow corridors where conventional extinguishers may protrude too far[8].
The design emphasizes ergonomics, enabling one-handed operation through an integrated strap that allows the user to secure the unit to their arm[9].
The premium model, Amplla The SafeMaker (formerly Shield), includes an external, customizable cover that conceals the hose, valve, and safety seals to deter tampering. This shield cover allows the unit to be mounted flat as an architectural detail, a strategy intended to increase its visibility and accessibility[10].
Technical Specifications and Agent
[edit]The units are available in two powder variants, P21 (4 kg) and P34 (6 kg), using the ABC powder agent Furex ABC Spezial (Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate).
