About Tomori Aid Kit de Lanterna

Tomori Aid é un kit de iluminación pregable que converte unha lanterna nunha suave luz ambiental. O kit está feito de cartón e móntase cunha estrutura sinxela e métodos de fixación simples. Pode utilizarse calquera lanterna de tamaño axeitado, polo que unha lanterna estragada pode substituírse por outra. Unha vez pregado, o Tomori Aid cabe nun formato A4 e é doado de transportar nunha mochila de prevención de desastres. Unha vez montado, a lanterna mide 260 mm de altura e 170 mm por cada lado. O deseño está pensado para o seu uso durante evacuacións e na vida cotiá no fogar.

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.
