Hide That Ugly Powerstrip

Let’s be honest here, power strips are an ugly necessity of the electronic world we live in. My workstation alone has 2 power strips that I hide under my desk using one of these nifty cable management systems from Ikea. But, there are some areas where a cable management system is not possible, like in a home theater setup. This is where a handy solution like the Power Bridge from designer Hyukjae Chang comes into play. This device from Yanko Design allows you to plug in 6 devices, keep the cables tidy and it has a LED for each outlet which indicates the amount of power being used. The unfortunate part about this absolutely brilliant design is that it’s only a design concept.

Hopefully there will be enough interest in a design like this, that the designer will produce this for the masses. If anyone has found a cleaver Powerstrip solution, I would love to hear about it, leave us your comments.
