About Tomori Aid Ljóskersbúnaður

Tomori Aid er samanfellanlegur lýsingarbúnaður sem breytir vasaljósi í mjúkt ljósker. Búnaðurinn er gerður úr pappa og er settur saman með einfaldri byggingu og einföldum festingaraðferðum. Hægt er að nota hvaða vasaljós sem er af hæfilegri stærð, þannig að ef eitt vasaljós bilar má einfaldlega skipta því út fyrir annað. Samanbrotinn passar Tomori Aid innan A4 stærðar og er auðvelt að bera í neyðartösku. Samsettur mælist ljóskerið 260 mm á hæð og 170 mm á hvora hlið. Hönnunin er ætluð til notkunar við rýmingu sem og í daglegu lífi heima fyrir.

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.
