The Insight

Desk cable management solutions aren’t integrated → high barrier to entry

The Development

Idea

What if cables could be intentional instead of messy? Could they be made beautiful?

Kinda… too many variables, too many extra parts. Need to refine.

Concept

A cable highway with central power all in one clamp-on accessory. No drilling or adhesive.

Prototyping

Can a cantilevered clamp hold onto a table? Yes

Which finish provides a nice brushed look and is smooth to the touch? 400 + scotchbrite

Can a cantilevered clamp support weight? Not without drooping significantly
