Magnetized Cord-Holding Platforms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'The Base' by Peel Will Stop Cords from Falling on the Floor

— August 30, 2017 — Art & Design
The Base by Peel is a desk-friendly platform that stops charging cords from slipping off an elevated surface and onto the floor. Slim, compact technology has a lot of advantages, but a thin, easy-to-lose design is not one of them.

The Base offers a solution to the annoyances related to smart technology, through offering a magnetized foundation that holds any cords in place. After unplugging a device, simply place the cord on The Base for quick and easy access. The magnetized platform can grip USB jacks, lightning connectors, cables and wires. Made from handcrafted walnut wood, these geometric devices will seamlessly blend into any desk or table, while acting like coasters for one's device, ensuring everything stays neat and organized.
Trend Themes
1. Cord-holding Platforms - The use of platforms that hold charging cords will become more widespread and ubiquitous, especially for minimalists who prefer sleek designs.
2. Magnetized Technology - Technology that employs magnetism to offer solutions will develop, especially for various electronic devices such as laptops, phones, and speakers.
3. Wooden Desk Accessories - Handcrafted, wooden desk accessories will become popular among modern professionals who seek to create an aesthetically pleasing and organized workspace.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - The tech industry will benefit from this trend by offering similar solutions or incorporating magnetic technology in future designs of their products.
2. Furniture - Furniture manufacturers can capitalize on this trend by creating multifunctional furniture that incorporates cord-holding platforms or other innovative solutions.
3. Crafts and Artisans - Independent artisans and craftsmen can utilize this trend to create unique, handcrafted designs that incorporate magnetic and cord-holding technology, appealing to professionals who appreciate the intersection of function and design.
