rising designers’ exhibition at seoul design week 07 - kim / shin

young ah kim and yoo kyung shin designed a power board which enables the user
to remove the electrical plugs from it by using just one hand.
‘raise me up’
a conventional power board requires the user to place one hand on the power board and use the
other hand to pull the plug out.

each socket point on the power board is designed with a lever.
it’s easy to pull the plug out without having to stoop or use both hands.

this device also reduces the possibility of dirt getting in it.

Is it really that hard to "stoop or use both hands"?

At first glance I thought each outlet was switched. This, I think would be much more practical considering the information about electronics plugged in leaching power even when not in use.
