These bFRIENDS Power Modules, by British industrial design firm Pearson Lloyd, challenge your idea of what a power strip is supposed to look likeand how they're made. As the firm explains:"Traditionally produced using highly tooled, multi-material assemblies, the bFRIENDS power modules disrupt the market with an innovative combination of additive manufacturing, elegant functionality, and cost-effectiveness. Complex installations are simplified by a straightforward threaded sub-assembly, while a range of beautiful color combinations provide a refreshing alternative to the traditionally dominant black designs." The units are 3D-printed from recycled bioplastic sourced from food packaging waste. While they're in production by Austrian furniture manufacturer Bene, units are printed on-demand, keeping their production lean; there's no tooling to be stored, nor inventory to be carried. They're printed by Batch.Works, a circular manufacturing company based in London.
