Desktop versions of hilltop power-line towers

Industrial designer Daniel Ballou, of Long Beach, CA, creates some pretty sweet housewares. Pictured here are his desktop power lines, which are based on the reasoning that if this form works to organize cabling as it passes over houses, hills and dales, it will likely suit the needs of desktop cable-management as well. Ballou also makes miniaturized home-use cargo containers that make handsome storage boxes.
