Unless you’re willing to re-wire every single appliance in your home, Line Block Cable will be useless to you. However, these stackable power-cables, which operate like reverse-string-cheese, would cut clutter and tangling in no-time. And like regular string-cheese, they taste of nothing but rubbery plastic.
The Line Block Cable is a concept design which, like all good designs, is simple. It works just like any other power-cable, with the addition of a tongue-and-groove which adds interlocking shapes to the cable itself. The cross-section is the shape of a jigsaw-puzzle piece, allowing the tessellating edges to lock together. This essentially turns your whole under-desk mess into a single, flexible block.
Over at Oh Gizmo, the handsome and talented Andrew Liszewski utters this desperate plea on behalf of the Line Block Cable: “Dear every single electronics manufacturer on the planet, please adopt this line block cable design.” I quite agree, but I have one simple request: Please drop the awful medical-accessory-blue colorway and make it in pale, cheese-like yellow. Mmm.
