A Strangely Alarming Design: The Lento Smoke Alarm

03 Jan 2015 • design-milk.com

A follow-up to the candy shaped Kupu smoke alarm by Harri Koskinen, the Lento is a photoelectric smoke alarm shaped like a moth, perhaps a nod to the nocturnal insect’s reputation for being drawn to fire. The insect-shaped smoke alarm’s design will likely prove divisive, as the entomological could prove a hard sell amongst the 6-legged squeamish.

I don’t even feel I’m “6-legged squeamish” but there is no way I’m putting this on my ceiling.
