Women regret wearing that pencil skirt to the office each time they need to bend down and fiddle with electrical cables beneath their desks. The Bull Extension Cord would keep them from causing offense and experiencing embarrassing exposure by keeping power outlets conveniently within arm's reach of their seats.
Nova Design of Shanghai came up with the concept and handed it over to Bull Electric Co. for manufacturing. The product won a 2013 iF Design Award for its cleverness. The triangular contraption comes with an adjustable clamp that enables you to fix it to the corner of desks and tables of different sizes. The Bull Extension Cord provides three sets of international power plugs, precisely where you need them.
