Kokuyo Made a Power Strip You Actually Want to Look At

Japanese office furniture company Kokuyo has launched the Energy Line, a minimalist, clamp-on power strip designed to eliminate desk clutter with a sleek, low-profile, and continuous-slot aesthetic.

Key Points

  • The Energy Line features a flat, linear design that clamps to desk edges, replacing traditional bulky sockets with a continuous slot.
  • It accommodates up to five two-pronged plugs, making it suitable for laptops, monitors, and desk lamps.
  • The device is incompatible with grounded, three-prong plugs, requiring users to audit their equipment before purchase.
  • Kokuyo, a company with a 120-year history in office furniture and stationery, developed the product to integrate seamlessly into workspace architecture.

Why it Matters

The Energy Line addresses a long-standing aesthetic gap in modern workspace design by transforming a utilitarian necessity into a discreet, integrated furniture component. This product reflects a growing consumer demand for curated, intentional office environments where even functional accessories contribute to a clean and professional visual experience.
