The USB Hub and Pencil Cup Keeps Your Bureau in Order

— April 28, 2011 — Tech
At this point, desktops are probably doomed to be cluttered, but the USB Hub and Pencil Cup takes a step towards simplifying your workspace.

Lars Olson has come up with a rather simple yet ingenious solution to merging two office items into one, with an external flash drive multi-outlet station and a writing utensil receptacle. Despite technology's progress, one still has a regular need for a ballpoint pen.

To keep your cords and cables from knocking over that highlighter holder, the designer has given the vessel a steady base that accommodates several thumbdrives and plugs directly into your computer. The canisters thus take on a techie character, but a bit of colorful flair and an artsy asymmetrical shape make the USB Hub and Pencil Cup a delightful adornment for your desk.
Trend Themes
1. Simplifying Workspaces - The USB Hub and Pencil Cup merges multiple office items into one, simplifying and decluttering workspaces.
2. Combining Functionality - The USB Hub and Pencil Cup combines a flash drive multi-outlet station with a writing utensil receptacle, offering dual functionality in a single product.
3. Tech-infused Office Accessories - The USB Hub and Pencil Cup incorporates technology with colorful flair, providing a techie character to office accessories.
Industry Implications
1. Office Supplies - The USB Hub and Pencil Cup disrupts the traditional office supply market by offering a combined solution for organization and functionality.
2. Technology Accessories - The USB Hub and Pencil Cup presents a disruptive innovation opportunity by merging USB hub functionality with a pencil cup, creating a unique tech-infused accessory for tech-savvy professionals.
3. Design and Decor - The USB Hub and Pencil Cup disrupts the design and decor industry by introducing an artsy, asymmetrical shape and colorful flair to office accessories, making them delightful adornments for desks.
