We've come across all manner of uniquely-designed power strips (above, clockwise from top left: the T12 Power Strip, the Swivel Socket, the E-ball Rounded Power Strip, and the Rotating Power Strip) but one thing they all have in common: They're all designed to be screwed to the wall or sitting on the floor under our desks. And while that's fine for our stationery office set-ups, it means whenever someone introduces a new piece of hardware--let's say your friend brings over an external hard drive to show you some files--you've got to get down on your hands and knees to plug the darn thing in.
So the power strip we really want is this neato, integrated-into-the-worksurface pop-up power strip presented on the website of a custom cabinetmaker, HearthWood Kitchens.
Unfortunately there's no product info, so it's either bespoke or a one-off. We think we have our next DIY project....
