Apple is recalling a batch of three-prong AC wall plug adapters. The company is aware of six incidents worldwide in which the adapters broke, creating a risk of electrical shock. As a precaution, Apple is allowing customers to exchange the potentiall...
Loose wires are incredibly ugly and dangerous. Not only do they stand the chance of getting entangled in something (like your foot, cat, Roomba, etc.) but they’re also just plain unsightly. An unkempt wire can absolutely ruin a space’s aesthetic, and it takes a pretty keen and determined eye to spot the problem and set out to fix it.
Determined to never have random loose wires corrupt the visual balance of his spaces, Andrew Ferrier designed the Cable Cradle, a simple, innovative twist on the plug-point. Ferrier’s redesigned plug-point comes with an extended lip that gives you a channel to wrap your spare wires around. Almost like a thread and a spool, the wire can be looped as many times as needed to make your space look neat, and to prevent you from accidentally tripping over that pesky little wire that’s aimlessly strewn across the floor. Ferrier even built a nice ridge on the top of the Cable Cradle to allow you to rest your phone on it, so you can charge your phone and dock it too! GENIUS!

I, like many, am happy to hide my power outlets with furniture and other items but that only makes them harder to access. It also doesn’t help that they’re flush against the wall which makes aiming the plug a task in itself!
The 33˚ Outlet takes on this problem by making a simple adjustment to the angle of the unit. The outlets diagonal form can still be mostly recessed into the wall, but it makes it a whole lot easier to see and aim. In those cases where you have to blindly reach behind a piece of furniture, it’s also easier to navigate without looking because the user can feel the slight incline of the outlet surface and determine the position of the holes from there!
