Cable Donut & Cable Tie

With the increasing number of electronic devices in offices and homes, all accompanied by connecting and charging cables, the environment often appeared cluttered, with excessive cable lengths left exposed. In 2003, I designed a product that allowed users to wind excess cable around a solid core, and then cover it with a flexible rubber sleeve. This design created a clean, organized appearance in both office and home settings by concealing unsightly cables. Although 3D drawings and prototypes were developed and tested, manufacturing was ultimately abandoned due to a lack of retailer interest and the ease with which the design could be copied.
