A Plug for Plugs
As is often the case, some of the most innovative product designs result from rethinking an existing product that hasn’t changed in decades—objects that we accept because they’ve always been that way.
Outlet strips are one of those items. I never seem to have enough outlets, especially under my computer desk. The problem is, so many consumer electronics have bulky wall-warts. They are designed, if poorly, to hang from a wall outlet. They end up covering neighboring outlets on a strip. From the angled outlets to the telescoping expansion of the strip, Socket Sense looks like a very sensible design.
And here’s one of those designs that makes me smack my forehead and say, “Well, duh!” Thank you, Breville, for actually thinking about your product and making the rest of us look dumb.
And thanks to Core77 for sharing both of these with us.
