For some time now, Jalo smoke detectors and kitchen fire extinguishers have been available at FormAdore. These devices, reminiscent of industrial design, have found their way into our shop for good reason. Jalo products stand out not only for their effectiveness and innovative technology, but also for their impeccable design, inspired by the Scandinavian ethos of simplicity.

Jalo's inspiring products are designed to save lives. High-quality devices with intriguing forms, such as smoke detectors and household fire extinguishers, ensure safety in domestic conditions. For every 10,000 Jalo products sold, one life is saved — so it's no wonder that this small Helsinki-based company has already received numerous awards for its original designs, including the Red Dot Design Award in 2011. Jalo products are beautiful devices combining Scandinavian aesthetics with Nordic functionality.

Kupu and Kupu 10 smoke detectors

The brand offers two types of smoke detectors designed by Harri Koskinen: Kupu and Kupu 10. They look virtually identical, differing only in the available colour palette. These are flat, rounded-corner cubes clad in soft fabric and equipped with an optical mechanism that detects microparticles of smoke and carbon monoxide in the air.

These two types differ only in their power source: Kupu is powered by three 3V lithium batteries, while Kupu 10 is equipped with a rechargeable battery covered by a 10-year warranty. The detectors, available in several colour variants, are attached to the ceiling to warn us in time in case of danger. Besides, how much nicer do they look in an interior than standard detectors! You could even mistake them for wall decorations!

Lento smoke detectors

Kupu detectors look lovely on the ceiling... but Lento detectors are true little works of art! Operating on the same principle as the simpler Kupu, Lento detectors take the form of striking and eye-catching insects. A sizeable moth, available in one of several pastel colours, will be an original guardian of safety for all household members.

Phoenix household fire extinguisher

Phoenix, designed by Oiva Toikka, is the world's first fire extinguisher specifically designed for kitchen use. Lightweight and compact, it is above all easy to use thanks to its intuitive spray nozzle. What's more, it's simply attractive and will undoubtedly sit proudly on the counter among other kitchen utensils.
