首尔的设计工作室SWNA设计了一款闹钟，内部有一个装满工具的应急工具箱，可以在紧急事件发生时使用。

在发生了一连串的紧急自然灾害之后，韩国京畿道公司委托SWNA为公众设计一款“能救命”的产品。

Seoul-based design studio SWNA has created a clock that incorporates an emergency kit filled with tools, which can be used in the event of a natural disaster.
SWNA was approached by Korea Gyeonggido Company to design a "disaster-related" product for the public, following a spate of natural catastrophes in the country.

为了鼓励人们在家里安装应急设备，研究小组想创造一些“低调却实用”的产品，它能适用于一般的家居陈设。

于是， Life Clock应运而生，它看起来是一个正常的报时装置，但内部却有一个急救包。

In order to encourage people to keep emergency equipment in their homes, the team wanted to create something that was "inconspicuous", and that would fit in among regular home furnishings.
This resulted in the Life Clock, which appears as a normal time-telling device, but contains an emergency kit.

“各种天灾人祸在韩国时有发生。”工作室的创始者Sukwoo Lee告诉Dezeen记者。

“前几年的多次地震让当地人们发现，在大多数的家庭中，灾难应急工具十分缺乏。”

“灾难的发生有时毫无预兆，因此，救灾物资至关重要，它应该在日常生活中与我们共存，而不应被看做是特殊的物品。”

"Korea is a country not accustomed to disasters," studio founder Sukwoo Lee told Dezeen.
"Although several years ago a number of disasters, like Sewol disaster, Gyeongju earthquake, and Pohang earthquake have raised interest – most Koreans did not have disaster goods."
"We thought that it was important to recognise that disasters could happen to us and that it was important for disaster supplies to co-exist with our lives in everyday life rather than something special."

这款时钟的颜色多样，有红的、蓝的和灰的，并且能从侧面打开。它装有手电筒、铝制隔热毯、压力袋、哨子、一张详细的个人医疗信息卡和灾难应对指南。

每一件物品都是设计小组与急救人员、消防部门、医疗专家经过仔细协商后精挑细选出的必备用具。

The clock, available in red, blue and grey, is designed to open on its side. It holds a torch, an aluminium heat blanket, a pressure pack, a whistle, a card that details personal medical information, and a guidebook for coping in disaster situations.
Each of the items was selected based on interviews that the team carried out with individuals from emergency crews, fire departments, disaster and medical experts.

“当我在家替换手表电池的时候，我注意到有很多额外的空间。”设计师说，“在构思过程中，这个生活小片段在我的脑海中浮现，因此便有了这个设计产品。”

“平常，它就是个不起眼的闹钟，然而遇到紧急情况时，它很容易就能打开。”

"When I had to replace the battery on my watch at home, I noticed there was a lot of extra space," said the designer. "That idea suddenly crossed my mind while working on the project, so the idea was developed."
"Usually, it is used as a general clock. The object itself is intended to be inconspicuous in life – however, in case of emergency, it can be easily opened."

建筑师和设计师越来越关注受灾国和发展中国家面临的问题。

自动化工程师Gordon Murray 设计了OX货车，目的是在日常生活和紧急情况下，为非洲偏远地区和发展中国家提供运输和援助。汽车品牌路虎也推出了无人驾驶的搜寻车，用于灾难发生后的搜寻和救援行动。

Architects and designers are increasingly focusing on problems facing those in disaster-stricken and developing countries.
Automotive engineer Gordon Murray created the OX truck, which aims to provide remote parts of Africa and the developing world with transport and aid for both everyday living and emergencies, while Land Rover unveiled a drone-equipped Discovery car designed for search and rescue operations earlier this year.
