Royal College of Art Graduate Student Redesigns UK Power Plug

choi_uk_folding_plug01Min-Kyu Choi designed a folding version of the UK power plug that reduces to the thickness of a MacBook Air:

It’s so plausible and so obvious a product that it should produce a few red faces; how many more years were we going to attach our palm sized mobiles and wafer thin laptops to an object that’s barely been touched since its first design in 1946? Choi picked an everyday product that most other designers find too mundane to dabble with and drastically improved it – exactly the kind of thinking that we should be celebrating right now.
