A team of designers comprised of Yui Xue, Yien 子梁, Neville 初九. 冯 康奕, and Huang Luo work together to design the Cloud Air power strip concept. A lot of the power strips are boxy and take up more space than necessary. The Cloud Air puts the focus on functionality as it is inspired by the look of a cloud with smooth curves and soft color palettes.
It is also finished with a glossy coating to bring a more positive energy. It also differentiates itself with its various ports with three USB-C ports at the front and two AC power outlets adorned at the top. The overall concept's purpose is to create a power strip that one would want to show off.
