"Desks have a way of accumulating chaos. Chargers multiply, cables tangle, and what starts as a clean workspace turns into a collection of mismatched gadgets competing for outlets and attention. MODULO, a new Kickstarter project from Italian design duo Modulo Design Lab, approaches the problem with a different philosophy: one wooden base, magnetic modules, and a single power cable to rule them all."
"Built around a CNC-milled wooden platform handcrafted in Italy, MODULO lets you snap together charging modules, Bluetooth speakers, e-paper displays, task lights, and organizers into one unified system. Each of the 8 different modules connects magnetically, drawing power and data through gold-plated connectors rated for 50,000+ cycles. The Modulo app ties everything together, so your phone charger, desk lamp, and notification display all respond to a single interface instead of separate apps and pairing routines."
"MODULO actually rethinks the problem at the power distribution level, which is where the mess starts in the first place. The wooden base acts like a backplane in a computer case, routing electricity and communication to whatever you plug into it. Modules are active devices that wake up the moment they make contact with the base, whether that base lives on your desk, your nightstand, or your kitchen counter."
MODULO is built around a CNC-milled wooden platform handcrafted in Italy. Magnetic modules snap onto the base, drawing power and data through gold-plated pogo-pin connectors rated for over 50,000 cycles. Eight module types include chargers, Bluetooth speakers, e-paper displays, task lights, and organizers. Modules wake on contact and are hot-swappable, enabling rapid reconfiguration across desk, nightstand, or kitchen counter. A companion app unifies control so connected modules respond through a single interface instead of separate apps. The design routes power and communication at the base level, reducing cable clutter and pairing routines.
