Electric bean
There are plenty of unusual or practical takes on the extension cord out there, but Takumi's BeansQtap is a standout. Maybe it's the colors — it comes in white, pale yellow, pink or green. Or it could be because of the beanlike shape of the base, where you'll find the three plug inlets. Then there's the cord itself, which shares the same twirl as the cord that connect a phone to its handset (completely stretched out, it extends to 3.5 meters). And finally, there's that almost incomprehensible name.
You'll find the BeansQtap in most design boutiques, priced ¥3,675; www.idea-in.com
