Bklyn Designs 2009: TMRnyc’s wired table

There's some good stuff coming up for Bklyn Designs 2009. Above is the Side Wired Desk by Greenpoint-based TMRnyc, which was borne out of a frustration most of us have:

The Side Wired Desk concept came out of a desire to organize all the visual madness of cords, wall warts, and power bricks sprouting out of my laptop, monitors, hard drives and speakers, spilling on to the floor into an ugly tangle of a powerstrip, cat hair and cables. We are constantly needing to plug a camera or cellphone for a charge. The frustration of searching for a free power outlet to plug into nearby made me ask, "Why can't I just plug this into my desk? Why can't I just plug my desk into the wall with one cord and neatly plug in all of my other gear into the desk."

The design challenge was to make a great looking desk, incorporate a hidden cable management system and power source as well as making it fast/easy to get at the cable ends to rearrange things when as the situation arises. One of the solutions was to make the wire grommets a part of the design. The other solution was to make a hinged tray to manage the cables that can also hold hard drives and any other corded object that clutters the desktop.

After an extensive search there was no result for a desk that met my requirements so I thought. Hey. I'll make my own, then my friends started asking me to make Wired desks for them. We are a UL certified shop for our lighting so it was natural for us to make the jump to wiring up our furniture designs.
