# Barcode Cable Organizers Duncan Shotton Offers a Creative Way to Declutter Your Office By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-07-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/declutter-your-office References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/duncan-shotton-barcode-cable-tidies-07-07-2014/) & [dshott](http://dshott.co.uk/) To [declutter your office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-felt-studio-pad), it takes a lot of patience and a little bit of help from creatives. Duncan Shotton has come up with a design that offers a fun and easy way to [organize cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cable-wallet), and make a space appear that much more organized. His design looks like a barcode after the cord has been wrapped around the surface. While it's not scannable, it certainly adds a fun twist to cleaning up a space. The design even comes complete with a unique number at the bottom of the item, making it appear even more like the real thing. For those who are slightly messy and need a creative source of motivation, this design by Duncan Shotton should do the trick.
