Chill out fools. It’s a piece of art. And looking at it makes me think about how many things need chargers nowadays. So many bits of electronics, with self contained power packs, that need regular visits to a charger – most of which warn you in advance! – but all of which almost always require a different charger – chargers that vary in size and shape from tiny and beautiful, to big and monstrous! How about wireless charging! – or even common connectors and/or adaptors.

In all honesty, it’s framing objects that we rely on daily, and being deliberate about showcasing a less attractive part of our coveted electronics. What would our electronics be sans being charger? Naught but paperweights.

I agree with Tonero – viscious critics here…
if you’re too quick to critique it’s likely because you’re not too occupied creating something

I had to have a closer look, just to see what exactly this was: which turned out to be a glorified yet far less practical power bar, exhibiting a horrid mess of cabling that is the plague of technology; ie. it turned out to be nothing at all – save for an absurd waste of time and resources, and yet another instance of mindless sexy rhetoric standing shamelessly in for a single strong and well-executed idea idea.
Indeed the question: why is this here?

I really like this… !
Would love to have it, though I would never have more than 2 things charging at the same time…

I’ve been looking at something with a similar purpose. My first (and basically only) requirement would be to be able to switch every loading device on/off separately. The idea is that chargers use current when they’re plugged in regardless whether they’re actually charging something.
Therefore a “single master switch” and no finer grained control is useless, this item is just a fancy power strip (aka plugbar, etc.) with a switch; possibly exactly what most readers here have their computer and peripherals plugged into.

I like it. It organizes while not looking organized.

At least I have my rechargers in one place and not spread around the whole room,

That would come in handy for me.

anyone else get a bit fed up with the phrase ‘limited edition’? Does this translate in this case as ‘we only made a few cos we knew no one would buy them?’

This is very practical. This is very beautiful. This is very interesting.

Thanks for posting this!

does nobody else look at this box and question why we have all this stuff? it’s very existence should be a cue to pare down our electronic devices

and on a practical level, who wants to charge all their stuff in one place? would one install said unit in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen or living room? confusion reigns
