Iron Haven transforms from a decorative wall panel into a protective dome during earthquakes, inspired by the ironclad beetle's exoskeleton that withstands 39,000 times its body weight.Magnetic interlocking panels distribute impact forces through puzzle-piece connections, shielding occupants from falling interior obejcts and debris—Japan's primary earthquake hazard. Simple pull-string activation deploys the dome and airbags within seconds. The system requires no training, making it accessible for elderly.Sustainable bamboo composite and recyclable materials ensure environmental responsibility.
