Charging bricks collect about six inches below the tabletop. Extra cable length goes to waste there, and the power strip becomes something you hope guests won’t notice. Swiss design studio Big Game Design for pedestal has built a set of storage pieces for that unglamorous zone, including a silicone cable bagel, and several of them are more interesting than another black plastic box.
The work extends Danish brand Pedestal’s Power Series. The collection covers cables, adapters, and power strips with silicone rings, powder-coated steel covers, trays, and a wheeled storage box. These are existing products, not speculative renderings. Their purpose is practical: give the necessary electrical clutter a designated home.
If the desk surface needs the same attention, Oakywood’s kit offers a warmer option: handcrafted oak and walnut desk organizer kit brings wood into the workspace.

The Silicone Cable Bagel
The Cable Bagel is the most immediately recognizable piece. Its flexible silicone body gathers cords into a rounded, doughnut-shaped form, and the name describes the shape accurately. Pedestal’s product photography shows blue, green, pink, and cream versions of the ring.
One image places it behind a television, with the cable ends emerging below it. The ring gives excess cord a deliberate shape instead of leaving it as a loose tangle.
The Cable Villa
The Cable Villa is the strongest piece in the range. Its steel box holds cables, adapters, and power strips. Wheels sit underneath, and a handle rises above a rooflike lid. In pink, it resembles a small utility cart.
The enclosed body hides the clutter, while the exterior gives the object some character. A cable organizer can sit in a living room without looking like a service closet.
The wheels offer practical value too. They let you move the box to reach its contents, but the length of connected cables still limits how far it can travel. The benefit is modest and specific: it contains hardware you already own.
Beam accessories
The powder-coated steel Power Shell fits around Pedestal’s Power Beam and can stand upright or lie flat. The Power Tower supports the Beam vertically instead. The two options suit different habits. Screening off a power strip calls for one shape, while frequent socket access calls for another. Both accessories require the Power Beam, which is sold separately.
The steel Power Tray brings the same logic to the work surface. It sits around the Power Beam and holds cables, adapters, and small essentials. A double version adds a second compartment. Of the collection, it comes closest to a conventional desk organizer, yet its link to the power strip gives it a clear purpose.
Price and fit
Pedestal’s storefront lists the Cable Bagel at $45 and the Cable Villa at $180. The visual appeal carries a real price difference, so buying the whole family for a coordinated photograph is hard to justify. One well-chosen piece makes more sense.
For clutter you would rather hide in plain sight, oversized stools that secretly stash clutter take a playful approach to the same storage problem.
This ring addresses loose cord. The Villa suits a larger collection. The Beam accessories depend on a specific system, so check fit and regional plug compatibility before ordering.
My preference is the Villa. It gives the least glamorous part of a setup a bit of architectural dignity. A cable box won’t make anyone organized on its own. Still, a storage piece you don’t immediately want to hide is a small but real improvement to a working desk.
