思わず手にしたくなるカラフルなドーナツ型のテーブルタップ。PLUGO（プラゴ）は、本体側面に3つの差込口と延長コードを収納したこれまでにない形状のコンセントタップだ。メーカーとデザイナーの連携を促す交流展にデザイナー・倉方雅行氏が出品、プロデューサー・柏木秀太氏の目に留まり商品化したものだ。8畳間で十分に使える2.5mのコード、ドーナツの断面を緩やかな曲面にすることで接触面を最小限にし、長く使っても汚れや傷が目立たない工夫、挿入や引抜きを容易にするプラグの握りやすさなど、実に細やかな心遣いが隠されている。クールなパッケージもなかなか好感度だ。プロフェッショナルたちの知恵によって、なんでもない日用品が完成度の高い商品になった好例だ。電子機器類のコードが占拠するデスクにあってユニークな視角効果を演出できる逸品。

| With its attractive colorful doughnut-like shape, < PLUGO > (pu-la-go) is a table plug with a shape never seen before: the main body has three plug-ins and stores an extension cord. The designer Masayuki Kurakata presented it in an exhibition held to push forward cooperation between manufacturers and designers. This attracted the attention of the producer Syuuta Kashiwagi who then commercialized it. A truly fine attention to detail is hidden in this product, such as the 2.5 meter cord long enough for an eight-mat room, the doughnut-shaped profile with a gently curved surface that minimizes the size of the contact surface and prevents the plug form getting dirty or damaged in the long term. In addition, one also has to mention the optimum shape of the plug that facilitates plugging in and out. The cool packaging is attractive as well. The product is a good example for a daily utility becoming a perfected product through the knowledge of professionals. It is a good product that can bring unique visual effects onto desks occupied by cords of electronic devices. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
