The average digital professional requires a multitude of connections to keep their essential technology products up and running, so the conceptual Smart Modular Power Rack has been designed as a modular way to do just that.

The system is intended to be mounted to the back of your workstation and offer [wireless charging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-design), sockets, IoT capability and [multi-USB ports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plugable-ps10cc) for an enhanced sense of productivity. The expandable design of the power system makes it perfect for open-concept offices that could benefit from [modular components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mespace-workstation) to keep them prepared for more employees.

The conceptual Smart Modular Power Rack is the design work of Yoo Inoh and Lee Cheewon, and could also be mounted onto the underside of a workstation to keep the components out of sight.
