ANSWERS – Home Quiz 10
- Rubbermaid was founded in 1920 as the Wooster Rubber Company in Ohio. The name “Rubbermaid” was adopted in 1933 to reflect its durable rubber products. The company’s first product under the Rubbermaid brand was a rubber dustpan, which was flexible, durable, and quieter than metal alternatives. Rubbermaid has since become a household name, offering a wide range of plastic storage and organization products.
- The term “façade” originates from the French word for “front” or “face.” In architectural design, it refers to the front exterior of a building, often designed to be visually appealing and representative of the structure’s overall style. Façades can include elements such as windows, doors, and decorative details that contribute to the building’s aesthetic and character.
- The Swiss Army Knife was first produced in 1891 by Karl Elsener, founder of Victorinox, for the Swiss military. The knife included a blade, reamer, can opener, and screwdriver. Its compact design and multiple functions set the standard for modern multi-tools. Today, it remains a symbol of ingenuity and practicality, widely used by outdoor enthusiasts and DIYers alike.
- Fiskars was founded in 1649 in Finland by Peter Thorwöste, making it one of the oldest companies in the world. Initially a steel mill, Fiskars evolved to produce high-quality cutting tools, including their renowned orange-handled scissors. Fiskars is celebrated for its innovative garden tools that combine ergonomic design with superior performance, revolutionizing gardening and DIY activities.
- The first ceiling fan was invented in the 1880s by Philip Diehl, who adapted a sewing machine motor to power fan blades. Ceiling fans became popular for their ability to circulate air and provide cooling before the advent of air conditioning. Over time, they evolved to include various designs, speeds, and integrated lighting, becoming a staple in home comfort and décor.
- “Lagom,” a Swedish term meaning “just the right amount,” influences contemporary home design by promoting balance, moderation, and functionality. This concept encourages uncluttered spaces, sustainable materials, and a focus on quality over quantity. Lagom design creates harmonious environments that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical, embodying the principles of simplicity and well-being.
- Sub-Zero was founded by Westye Bakke in 1945 in Madison, Wisconsin. The name reflects the company’s focus on ultra-low temperature refrigeration. Sub-Zero introduced the first built-in refrigerator, seamlessly integrating appliances into kitchen cabinetry. This innovation not only enhanced kitchen aesthetics but also set new standards for food preservation and storage.
- The first self-propelled lawn mower was invented by Cecil Pond in 1954, founder of the company Pond Manufacturing (later known as Simplicity). This innovation made mowing large lawns easier and less labor-intensive, significantly impacting the lawn care industry by providing homeowners with more efficient tools for maintaining their properties.
