With the growing integration of power outlets and electrical components into contemporary furniture, I designed a frame that accommodates both functions without imposing specific obligations or requirements. This design brings together a flat surface and a tubular element, creating a versatile cutout. Thanks to its weight, the steel structure is stable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. When paired with electrical connections, cable clutter can be neatly stored inside the tube, which can also be fitted with a magnetic power strip if needed.
