Streamlined Cable Cubes

The Desk Tile is an Aluminum Block Designed to Ensure Organized Cords

— July 12, 2016 — Tech
The Desk Tile is a simplistic desk management system designed exclusively for organized cords and cables in an office setting. The system is comprised of a thin aluminum cube that provides a weighed place and micro suction to keep cables separated from one other in one streamlined area. The Desk Tile is ideal for cluttered desks or floor spaces to help ensure cables stay untangled and properly funnelled to the devices they support.

With consumers owning so many tech devices, having multiple cords can quickly clutter up any workspace. The Desk Tile is designed to sort and retract cables so that multiple cords can be grouped together, but only the ones needed are fully extended. In other words, several cables can be looped through the Desk Tile's aluminum exterior and held into place till needed.

2. Retractable Cable Management - Desk Tile has discovered an innovative way to make cord organization easy and hassle-free by providing a retractable cable management system.
3. Efficient Cord Organization - The Desk Tile is among those innovative solutions that provide rational cord management for small or cluttered spaces with smooth surfaces.
Industry Implications

2. Tech Accessories - Tech accessory companies can incorporate Desk Tile's cable management system into their products, making cord management a feature of devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
3. Architecture and Interior Design - The Desk Tile has wider applicability in interior design where architects and designers can create bespoke pieces of furniture or partitions that incorporate a cable management system.
