About Tomori Aid Sèit Lanntair

Is e sèit solais a ghabhas a phasgadh a th' ann an Tomori Aid, a thionndaidheas lóchran-làimhe gu lanntair bog. Tha an sèit air a dhèanamh de chairtbhòrd agus air a chur còmhla le structar sìmplidh agus dòighean daingneachaidh sìmplidh. Faodar lóchran-làimhe sam bith de mheud iomchaidh a chleachdadh, agus mar sin ma dh'fhàilligeas aon lóchran-làimhe, faodar fear eile a chur na àite. Nuair a tha e pasgte, tha Tomori Aid a' freagairt am broinn meud A4 agus tha e furasta a ghiùlan ann am baga dìon-mhòr-thubaist. Nuair a tha e cuidhte, tha an lanntair 260 mm a dh'àirde agus 170 mm air gach taobh. Tha an dealbhadh air a dhealbhadh airson cleachdadh aig àm falmhachaidh agus anns a' bheatha làitheil aig an taigh.

Unique Properties: It is a lighting kit that changes the light of a linear LED flashlight into the light of a soft lantern born from the designer's own evacuation experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: When folded:H260mm x W180mm
When assembled:H260mm x W170mm D170mm
Tags: lantern, light, sustainable, prevention, flashlight, eco-friendly, disaster,
Production Technology: Tomori Aid is a collapsible lighting kit made of cardboard. Easy to assemble with simple structures and fixing methods, any flashlight of the right size can be turned into a lantern. It is designed to fit in A4 size when folded and is easy to carry. If one flashlight fails, you can substitute another flashlight, so you don't have to worry about lighting when you need it.
Design Challenge: It has both "portability that can be carried in a disaster prevention bag when evacuating" and "design that makes you want to decorate", and it is designed that it can be used as both a daily light and a light when a natural disaster strikes.
Research: During a power outage cause of a typhoon in Japan, the method of putting a PET bottle filled with water was spreading in news and SNS. So I realized that there was an urgent need to have an indirect light like a lantern, even though they had a flashlight, at the actual site, and started development to improve it.
Inspiration: When evacuating to a shelter due to typhoon damage in Japan, I've experienced the difference between imagination and reality. So I've developed Tomori Aid to solve problems by design when a natural disaster strikes.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2019 in Tokyo and finished in February 2021.
Operation Flow: Based on the designer's own evacuation experience, in order to solve the problems of power outages and lights at evacuation shelters, it has ben achieved both portability that is useful during evacuation and design that can be used in daily life.
