## Origin

Amplla was founded by Přemysl Kokeš, Czech architect. The product concept originated in 2017, when Kokeš was on site at a castle near Lanškroun when a fire broke out; he found the extinguisher behind a panel and realised that for more than 200 years the portable extinguisher had been improved only on the inside of the cylinder, never on the ergonomics of the human trying to use it under smoke and stress. Amplla's shield form is the answer to that question.
