PowerPod Power-Strip and Pen-Tidy: A Pointless Pairing

The PowerPod is a six-way power outlet combined with a desk-tidy. The power-strip section is circular, has a circuit breaker built in (the reset switch is underneath) and sports an on/off switch and light in the center. It is designed to sit on a desktop.

On top of this sits the desk-tidy, an open cylinder divided into three sections. Actually, it probably won?t spend much time atop its base, as the two aren?t stackable if anything is plugged in. And seeing as there are six sockets begging to be filled, it?s likely something will be plugged in, somewhere, all the time.

This curious design choice essentially leaves you with two separate, albeit matching, items. A pen-holder and an extension cord. How much would you pay for these items? If your answer is $150, then you?re in luck ? that?s the exact price Scott Wilson & Minimal, the designer, thinks it can get away with charging. Available March 21st.
