Announcement of Selection for the 2017 "Good Design Award 100"
TERADA
We are pleased to announce that our "Wall Outlet (UCW Series)" has been selected as one of the 100 Good Design Awards for 2017. This award is organized by the Japan Design Promotion Association, a public interest incorporated foundation, with the aim of selecting and honoring "good design" from a variety of phenomena, thereby leading our lives, industries, and society as a whole to a richer state. [Overview] This product is a wall outlet that can be stored within the wall when not in use. By lightly pressing the center, the outlet unit pops out. It features two outlets on opposite sides that can rotate 90°, allowing power plugs to be connected either vertically or horizontally. The power plugs can be inserted parallel to the wall, minimizing interference from connected power cords. The product lineup includes options with and without grounding and with and without locks. The lockable type can be secured while the outlet unit is stored, reducing the risk of electricity theft and vandalism. *The release date for this product is currently undecided.
