Extension Cord Built in Wall

Another ‘why nobody has thought of it before’ product. And if you are considering a house renovation, you should have a look at this ‘Extension Cord’ designed by Meysam Movahedi. Hidden behind the socket for most of the time, the 1.5 meters cord could be easily pulled out when you need to use hair driers, vacuum cleaners and other electronics. As a result, you room will always look neat, without messy wires mounted on the wall or pilled on the floor.

And what is the easy way to get in in there again? Just push and hope it’ll roll up neatly?

It could be spring loaded, working in a similar way to a vacuum cleaner’s cord retraction feature.

OR, you could just consider your cords when you place a mirror… it seems like much less of a hassle.
This is a great idea, but the engineering behind getting it to retract would require a slightly larger space in the wall than the space of one outlet.

Add a button for rolling up the cord like on a vacuum cleaner and I would buy it for every new outlet ever.

ehh.. it sort of bores me. you could just have this outside of the wall, not have to change your plugs to fit your weird, futuristic sockets, and you won’t have to expend the space between your sheetrock and your outer wall’s plywood.
blow me.

Will not having a rolled up coil of wire with a charge going through it produce heat and lead to a fire?

@concerned: I agree, I was going to comment on that aspect as well. It’s a well known recommendation to always fully unroll a coil before using it, and I don’t see that happening with these kind of applications. Also, when someone trips over the cord it could lead too significantly more damage to the socket or wall than a conventional extension cord…
