Sidewired for Success

Posted by Laureen Mahler

There is nothing wrong with your monitor. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. This is actually a desk with electrical outlets wired into its side. And it really exists:

 

[Price upon request, TMRnyc]

This brilliant piece of office furniture comes from TMRnyc, a firm that specializes in practical design. What I love almost as much as the gorgeous simplicity of this desk is the designer's explanation: "The frustration of searching for a free power outlet to plug into nearby made me ask, 'Why can’t I just plug this into my desk? Why can’t I just plug my desk into the wall with one cord and neatly plug in all of my other gear into the desk.'" Why indeed. 

The sidewired desk comes with more plugs than you could ever use up, plus it's equipped with a surge protector for safety. The folks at TMRnyc are just that good. 

Only one question remains: why didn't anyone think of this sooner?

What's really cool too is they've incorporated a system to get all the wires neatly & discreetly out of the way & out of sight.
