The highest level of the iF award. HUSSECHUCK succeeded in the Product Design discipline, in the building technology category.

Organiser: iF International Forum Design
Category: Product Design — Building Technology
Product: HUSSECHUCK
Entrant: Amplla a.s., Hlinsko, Czech Republic

Fire extinguishers are a necessary and irremovable part of any building but do little to enhance aesthetics. This extinguisher turns that equation upside down and becomes an attractive feature.
