Fluid Multi-tap

So far we have seen some really radical designs for power strips and adding to the list is this fluid Any Shape-shifting Socket. Constructed out of a soft plastic material, it molds into any shape you like. The jack takes in most kinds of plugs thus making it easy for you to hook up appliances and gadgets. The fluidity in design is the key element here. We have to let go of the restrictive rectangular strip that we are so used to and accept shape-shifting sculptural designs as a part of our interior setup.
