Cool-Looking Flush-Mounted Power Outlets
…that must be a nightmare to install
Check out these crazy flush-mounted outlets:
Those are 22 System outlets by Canadian manufacturer Bocci. My first thought was "Those look cool as hell," and my second thought was "Those have to be a nightmare for contractors to install."
I think I'm right on both counts. Here's the installation procedure if you're putting them in drywall:
Here's how you'd do it behind stone, glass, tile or millwork:
And behind concrete:
It's interesting to see the designers also had to come up with the special tool to remove the outlets for maintenance.
As someone who works with contractors, I can tell you that by spec'ing these, you are partially responsible for their hair going grey faster. But, as Don Draper once said, "That's what the money is for!"

These are honestly not bad at all to install, just require pre-planning. I've installed with waterjet stone veneer, laser cut wood veneer and the mudded option. The only catch is you need the super expensive tool. For a finish carpenter it's great because you just need to drill 2 holes. The other brand that makes a fantastic system is Trufig, though if you have white walls and magnets, iron particulate does collect over time and cling to the magnet locations with a little black mark.
