FREDI is a practical side table designed as a response to the risk of domestic fires. Simultaneously stylish and functional, it offers a safe surface on which to place objects that represent the most frequent causes of fires, such as candles that could fall over, forgotten cigarettes, and overheated batteries of smartphones and tablets. The fire-resistant combination of functionality and aesthetics can be expanded with the addition of fire-safety modules such as candle holders, an ashtray and a USB slot.
