Woodie All-in-one Power Hub

Woodie All-in-one Power Hub

Woodie All-in-one Power Hub is an innovative power distribution device that harmoniously combines functionality with aesthetic design, representing a significant evolution in the category of electrical power accessories. Conceived by Italian designers Francesco Paolo Dolce and Marco Iurilli, this sophisticated power hub emerged from an inspiring encounter during a Bolivian road trip, where the designers observed the intersection of utility and craftsmanship in a traditional wooden power strip. The device features a meticulously engineered square base measuring 135mm with a fillet radius of 27mm and a height of 36mm, incorporating a truncated conical base of 6mm that creates an illusion of lightness. Distinguished by its integration of natural materials such as wood, marble, or concrete in its frame construction, the hub transcends the conventional utilitarian appearance of standard power strips to become an architectural element that complements interior spaces. The design's technical sophistication is evident in its universal compatibility with over 150 types of electrical plugs, making it particularly valuable in international settings such as hotels. The hub incorporates advanced wireless charging capabilities, cleverly indicated by an integrated logo that marks the Qi-standard charging zone, alongside traditional power outlets and USB ports. This Bronze A' Design Award winner in the Furniture Design category represents a thoughtful response to the contemporary need for power solutions that balance technological functionality with interior design aesthetics, demonstrating how everyday electrical accessories can be elevated through careful consideration of materials, form, and user experience.
