Creative, imaginative, brilliant thinking - a plug!

[Bold Seagull]

I do love it when a simple idea of an object so familiar you can't imagine it any other way, is reimagined.

Yes of course, there would need to be a fuse, it would need to develop to meet various British Standards, but an ingenious bit of thinking from a design graduate nevertheless.

That is brilliant - especially the way they stack.

So simple yet so brilliant. Fair play to the soon to be wealthy individual who came up with that.

That is fantastic and to be able to stack them and have usb, where can I get one or 3?

Impressive.

Out of interest, what will you do with them? They don't yet look like it'll be easy to take them apart to attach to your favourite devices, so I assume products have to come with them attached.

This idea has been around for some time . I believe Apple ship some products with a very similar plug. It's good but it's not new.

Very impressive. Only question I have is is it as easy to rewire/replace than the current version?

I believe this is from a different designer and been about for a while?

Not sure they do. They, like some other manufacturers, produce plugs that clip together to be used in the normal three pin configuration but this idea can be used in two different configurations.

Stick to what you know, I don't like change.

Ahhh...............so it's an electric plug you are talking about.

When I saw the thread title..................

True, but you can see where he got the idea from.

Disappointing that they can't get a simple photo right.

I think it's great and I'm going to replace my chunky plugs with these as soon as I can but to hail this lad as some kind of design genius when one can simply google about 12 products working on the same principle that have been on the market since 2012 is a bit over the top. Good on him though, he'll make a fortune probably.

Half right. It's an earlier design by the same designer. Decent little company.

Aha! I do apologise. Thanks for the grace with which you pointed that out ;-)
