Flat Power

Image
Flat Power is an extension cord that allows anyone to access power anywhere in a room without daisy-chaining powerstrips, which is cumbersome, against regulations and dangerous.  The flat extension cord consists of ultra-flat strips of flexible polycarbonate of different lengths with outlets that you can connect between them.  The modular strips come in different shapes and sizes: long straight ones, turns, upward turns, and outlet boxes.  It uses three clips to connect each of the internal copper electrodes. The cord was designed specifically for the flexible workspace in NuVu, where tables are constantly being moved and outlets are needed under each table to create a safe power grid. Our last inspiration were these modular power strips. We felt that all of these things should all be combined to create a flat modular power strip that is also safe. This is where the modular part comes in.
