JALO HELSINKI
TRANSFORMED SMOKE ALARMS INTO DESIGN
The Finnish smoke alarms Kupu and
Lento bring safety and beauty into homes. This usually difficult and unaesthetic
safety device has now been designed into an easy to use decorative article.
From this unique idea Jalo Helsinki was established in 2009.
The core of Finnish design is
crystallised in Jalo Helsinki. The idea is not only to create an impressive
exterior but to enhance the relationship of man and the product.
Internationally acknowledged top designers Harri
Koskinen and Paola Suhonen’s new
and brave way of seeing utility articles comes true in the smoke alarms of Jalo
Helsinki.
Elegance meets playfulness: Kupu by Harri Koskinen and Lento by Paola Suhonen
The clear lined and elegant Kupu was
noticed in the early stages when it got the Red
Dot Design Award 2011. The following year Kupu won the 2012 Wallpaper* Design Award
and was selected as the Decor Item of the Year in a Finnish Muoto2012
competition. It’s external casing has
multiple different coatings: five colourful textile options and a modern chrome
coloured metal surface. Due to its many different looks and character Kupu
easily merges into the interior and yet stands out as a drop of colour in the
room.
Paola Suhonen is well-known as the
founder of fashion house Ivana Helsinki whose collections have been shown on
the runways of New York Fashion Week and the Paris Fashion Week. Fashion designers
open-minded and adventures character really shows in Lento. It is wild and
colourful butterfly, a moth, that stays on the watch when everybody else is
sleeping. Because of its fun and playful look, it fits perfectly to nursery or
to your first own home. Lento is stylish with a twist of rock attitude.
Safety can be beautiful and easy
We at Jalo Helsinki believe that
when an object is a beautiful part of its surrounding, and is practical as well
as easy to use people pay more attention to it, take better care of it and
therefore increase the safety of their home. That is why we have especially
paid attention to usability along with design and safety of Jalo Helsinki smoke
alarms. Installation of Kupu and Lento is extremely easy as it only takes few
seconds with the 3M-sticker – no power drill or screws needed. Also there are
no tiny test buttons, but the whole external casing acts as a press switch for
silencing false alarms and testing the performance of the product. Both Kupu
and Lento are CE-certified.
Now it is easier than ever to give beauty and safety to the ones you love and care about.
Kupu and Lento are perfect presents for Birthdays, Family Christmases and sales promotions.
