Samsung has developed a throwable fire extinguisher that doubles as a vase. At first glance, the Firevase, as the company has aptly dubbed the device, looks just like any other a translucent red tube of PVC with a hollow center compartment to house flowers or other plants.
What separates the vase from other decorative containers according to Samsung, is its ability to save lives. In the throwable PVC vase's outer chamber is a fire-killing mixture of potassium carbonate that is able to both cool and compress oxygen upon impact. To activate the extinguisher/vase one need only follow a simple task: point and throw.
According to Samsung, the Firevase looks to tackle issues with more traditional metal extinguishers that has relegated many to closets and other inaccessible locations: aesthetics.
