The wires that are attached to earbuds might be annoying, but they serve to make the little electronic accessories easy to locate and harder to lose. The C8ble concept helps people learn to live with the constantly entangling items as a convenient product around which you can coil them.
Patric Günther modeled this small object on the lemniscate, or a twisted figure eight. It has two loops, a hole and a couple of notches that make it easy to wrap your headphone cables around it and to fasten them in place. The open form of the C8ble encourages you to use the product in a number of different ways, constantly threading the cords through or winding them tightly in order to avoid accidental knots and kinks.
