Compound Pyramidal Plugs

The Multi Plug Can Accommodate Increasing Numbers of Electronics

— November 12, 2013 — Art & Design
Even if there is only one available wall socket, no fuss! Once you've inserted a Multi Plug into it, you'll end up with two more outlets, enabling you to connect up to three devices with power. Amazing!

For their work on this concept, Choi Minhyun, Jung Junyoung, Shin Seunghun and Kwon Jinho won a 2013 Red Dot Design Award. Each wall plug takes the form of a triangular prism; a pair of prongs protrudes from its bottom square base and the cord escapes from the opposite edge. The two squared sides provide a pair of pin holes, allowing you to hook up two more devices. The Multi Plug then supplies four more sets of power points, but clustering any more together could conceivably get dangerous.
