"Like so many people, Johan Runströmer and Viktor Lundberg bemoaned the look of power strips and extension cords. Unlike most, the product designer-entrepreneurs took matters into their own hands and founded Avolt, a Stockholm-based company specializing in better-looking ways to plug in. Their power cubes debuted in Europe in 2018-and won a prestigious Red Dot Design award. Recently, their Square 1 became available in the States."
