Get Wired with the Outlet Wall




In this age of remarkable technology, you would think our wiring would improve alongside ever-evolving advancements. Our dependence on electricity becomes more and more apparent  as often evidenced by the nasty tangle of wires lurking behind computer desks and hidden away in consoles.  Ever a bane to aesthetics, these coiling conductors of electrical life force are one ugly bunch,  a challenge in any instance to beautify.

 

 

 

David Friedman has proposed the idea of an outlet wall -- a vast expanse of space dedicated to the detangling your wires and electrifying your favorite equipment.  Here, cables can find a proud place of their own to stretch to their limits while also contributing to a bold design statement.  How's that for form and function at their finest?

Outlet Wall

Oooo....an electrician's DREAM!
I'd charge about $6,000 to $8,000 to put that up for you. Let me know if any of you suckers...er, I mean art-enthusiasts want it done.


building code?????

sorry won't happen, can't drill that many holes in the studs to carry that many wires, think about it how many spaces in a circuit breaker would it take to power that many outlets (even if you group them in individual circuits) 10 to 15 breakers? think what size of panel you would need? a 1' x 4' panel!

now if would like to inspire sheer terror make some of them functional and the rest decoys and see how long it takes to get to the right ones!!!!!!
