Electricity doesn’t have to be ugly.
“I’ve always wondered why the messiness of electrical supply, all those cables and power adapters, is often so prominent despite being so unattractive. Both at home and at work, I think that well thought-out design can do a good job of sorting out the chaos, hence the ES01.”
Petter Neby, founder of Punkt.
“Conventional power-strips, packed with different plugs and chargers and creating a jumble of cables, are ugly and as a result tend to be hidden behind desks and cupboards. I wanted to make crawling around or under furniture to untangle cables a thing of the past, and the design challenge was to find an attractive and accessible solution to this problem.”

The close-fitting, locking dust-cover ensures that your home, office or studio doesn’t end up suffering from the Medusa-effect. A neat idea.
The stylishness of the ES01 means that it doesn’t need to be stashed out of sight. So you can have electricity right where you need it.
Plenty of room for plugs and AC adapters that would otherwise be covering two or three sockets. So no more crossed wires.
The versatile rubber C-clip allows you to group some or all of your cables so they go where you want them to.
The tactile switch lets you turn all your devices on and off together; a soft white light indicates the power status. Convenient and eco-friendly.
It’s easy to overload an extension cable. The integral thermal circuit breaker stops you asking too much of your mains supply.*
Three metres long, rather stylish and just a little bit different.
And built to last.
