About Tomori Aid کیتی چرا

توموری ئەید کیتێکی ڕووناکیدانەوەی چینراوەیە کە فلاشلایتێک دەگۆڕێت بۆ چرایەکی نەرم و لاسنگ. ئەم کیتە لە کارتۆن دروستکراوە و بە پێکهاتەیەکی سادە و شێوازێکی سادەی چەسپاندن کۆکراوەتەوە. دەکرێت هەر فلاشلایتێکی گونجاو لە قەبارەدا بەکاربهێنرێت، بۆیە ئەگەر فلاشلایتێک کاری نەکرد، دەتوانرێت بە یەکێکی تر جێگۆڕکێ بکرێت. کاتێک تاوکراوەتەوە، توموری ئەید دەگونجێت لەگەڵ قەبارەی A4 و بە ئاسانی دەتوانرێت لەناو کیسەی ئامادەکاری بۆ کارەساتدا هەڵبگیرێت. کاتێک کۆکراوەتەوە، چراکە درێژییەکەی 260 میلیمەترە و هەر لایەکی 170 میلیمەترە. ئەم دیزاینە بۆ بەکارهێنان لە کاتی چۆڵکردنەوە و ژیانی ڕۆژانە لە ماڵەوە دیزاین کراوە.

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.
