Context

Most power and data grommets assume a fixed orientation—forcing cords to bend, cross, or interfere with one another. Orbit began with a simple question: what if access points could adapt to use rather than dictate it?

The goal was to reduce friction at the point of connection by allowing power and data to remain fluid, not fixed.

Self-initiated concept. Patented. Open to the right production partner.

Process

Orbit was developed as a system of discrete rotating receptacles housed within a compact grommet form. Early studies focused on how rotation could be introduced without adding visual noise or mechanical complexity.

The electrical distribution was designed to allow each outlet to rotate independently through a full 360 degrees. This required rethinking how power is routed internally - resolving movement, safety, and reliability within a constrained footprint.

Prototypes tested rotation, resistance, and cable behavior under everyday use, prioritizing smooth motion and intuitive interaction.

Resolution

Orbit is a power and data grommet that responds dynamically to its environment. By enabling full rotation at each receptacle, the system reduces cable stress, visual clutter, and awkward connections - quietly improving everyday interaction through a patented distribution design.
