Retractable Tape Cord : Flat and Anti-Tangle

Wouldn’t be great to have this re-designed Retractable Tape Cord? Our traditional extension cords usually need to be mounted on the wall/floor to avoid the mess, but using this new design, no more mess. It can lay flat on the ground and is anti-tangle. This electrical extension cord allows user to pull out the desired length and lock it so that it won’t retract. To pull back, just simply press the button on the case. It works just like retractable tape measure. The cord is made with polysiloxane (a silicone polymer), whose properties allow the cord’s thin profile and cause it to lay flat. The hidden plug feature makes it easy to carry in a bag.

Using “Pull Lightly” Plug, You Are Safe To Pull The Electric Cord To Unplug

Even though it’s not safe to pull off the electric cord when you want to unplug, yet so many people still do that. The only reason to keep on doing this dangerous thing is simply because of its convenience. Well, since to some lazy people it’s really hard to change this bad habit, this industrial designer suggested a new concept for power plugs : “Pull Lightly”. He was inspired by wall-mounted fan that usually works by pulling the cord to turn it on/off. Pull Lightly consists of a plug and a pull-activated switch, which is mounted inside the plug. The switch is connected to the electric wire and would be activated when the wire is pulled slightly.

Ammonite Washbasin Shaped as A Fossil

Say hello to Ammonite washbasin, a unique-shaped washbasin designed by HighTech. It is a concrete washbasin shaped as fossil which is inspired by the archaic beauty of ammonites. You can get this washbasin installed in your bathroom in widths between 90 cm and 30 cm with a depth of 56 cm. Not only this, there are many colors available for you with a table mounted or wall mounted tap. The mesmerizing shape of ammonite fossil resembles a rolled up corkscrew. The way water reaches to the bottom of the hole is just amazing. Wish all manufacturers can really be this creative with shape, really can’t wait to get it installed in my bathroom.

“Ammonites are an extinct species of cephalopods which lived in the sea about 400 million years ago. Their shells are found all over the world and they are very much sought-after by fossil-hunters, their collector’s value depending on size and the state of preservation. The fascinating shape of ammonite fossils – which resembles a rolled up helix – is the basic design element in the new HighTech washbasin. The association of water and fossil design is a clear allusion to the prehistoric inspiration for the Ammonite washbasin.”
