But with the Post Line Flat Extension, I can check one thing off my blundering list. A simple concept, it takes the traditional [extension cord](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strips) and makes it tape-like so as to avoid being a trip hazzard. Designed by Chen Ju Wei, the Post Line Flat Extension utilizes [circuit-printing technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wirestax) and electrostatic paste material, according to [Yanko Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture). This will definitely save me some grief. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Circuit-printing Technology:** The innovative use of circuit-printing technology in the Post Line Flat Extension presents opportunities for the development of more flexible and tape-like electrical devices. - **Electrostatic Paste Material:** The utilization of electrostatic paste material in the Post Line Flat Extension opens up possibilities for the creation of safer and non-slip electrical extensions and cords. - **Trip Hazard Prevention:** The introduction of the Post Line Flat Extension addresses the need for innovative solutions to prevent tripping accidents caused by traditional extension cords, presenting opportunities for the development of other safety-focused products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Electronics:** The electronics industry can explore the integration of circuit-printing technology and electrostatic paste material to create safer and more convenient electrical devices and accessories. - **Home Improvement:** The home improvement industry can leverage trip hazard prevention technologies like the Post Line Flat Extension to develop innovative products that enhance safety and convenience in households. - **Workplace Safety:** The workplace safety industry can benefit from the development of non-slip and trip hazard prevention solutions inspired by the design of the Post Line Flat Extension. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Clutter-Proof USB Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usb-power-strips.md) - [U-Shaped Power Strip Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strip-2.md) - [Stylish Power Cord Removers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plug-puller.md) - [Design-Conscious Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strip-concept.md) - [Accessible Power Cord Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipull.md) - [Natural Rock-Imitating Extension Cords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-gem.md) - [Power Strip Illuminated Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightbox-power-strip.md) - [Rotating Outlet Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oconnect-onestep.md) - [Flexible Charging Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-charge-adapter.md)
