The ecology of fire and fire-safety Phuc-Tan Nguyen, Pia Fleng Sandal Systems Oriented Design , In collaboration with a partner (www.safetyisbeatiful.com), we have found innovations in fire-safety and fire-products, and developed a sustainable business model. The project builds on different findings, which emerged from using the GIGA-mapping-method, and is based on the belief in beautiful fire-products and the conviction that knowledge & education are the most powerful tools in fighting fires. Among our results we have found 3 strategies: 1) customizing products 2) leasing safety-products and services 3) leasing from multiple service-areas including health care, security, safety and domestic service – thereby achieving 24h coverage. When combining these strategies over time, a sustainable business model is made. We have also found, that displaying the products improves fire-safety and passes on knowledge. Our conceptual products motivates the user to display the products by giving the user an ownership in them, using customization, variation and identification. |
