The home fire extinguisher has gotten a makeover. For entrepreneur Rodolphe Gimenez, moving into a new home sparked an idea for decorative fire extinguishers that would provide safety without sacrificing style. Fire Design’s powder-based extinguishing agents come in three tank sizes. (Conventional wisdom is that bigger is better, but not if the smaller members of your household cannot wield it in an emergency.) Each is marked with identification numbers so owners can take advantage of a 10-year warranty that includes free checkups and refills.
