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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/square-1) to bring a more positive energy. It also differentiates itself with its various ports with [three USB-C ports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonbase) 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.
