I was looking through portfolios of artists, and i came across another great product. Designed by Takumi Yoshida, This powerstrip stops the complicated Tetris-like game that puzzle us every time we purchase a new gadget that requires a outlet. (it’s a rendered concept, so it’s not a real product, (yet.))

Wow this is so cool looking!  I can’t think of any use for it in my daily life though… I’ve tried to think for the last couple minutes and cant come up with any scenario where I would use this in my house or in my dorm room.  Still, a cool concept that I am sure would apply to many other people.  Hopefully it becomes a real product!

Right now, i have about 10 gadgets plugged into my 11 port extender, and i spend about 5 minutes putting the plugs in because some won’t fit and you get the point. so i think this is a great concept and that i could sure use this in my life. and that one port that’s left on my extender is covered up by a adapter. :down:

tha can be really efficient if you have a lot of electronics.  if this goes into production with a reasonable price tag i might try to pick this up.

It’s a mess under the table… since we have this plug explosion. While I don’t think I’ll die from not having this awesome product, it might help my mom, we’re constantly taking off plugs and unwinding all of them so we can see where everything is and alternate outlets we need.
Don’t quite understand the design though… it’s just the plug outlets in different 360 degree rotations?

It’s a great concept, it doesn’t surprize me one bit that it is from far east.. One thing you have no take notice is that since it “revolves” as you twist or turn it an internal component could eventually become loose or even split.. what does that spell?  Yeah big BIG fire hazard.. Won’t get an approval in the states.
