Why design now? As issues of ecology and sustainable living continue to gain in urgency and topicality, design has come to the forefront of the arts as the discipline best equipped to meet today's challenges. Designers around the world are rising to this clarion call by creating products, buildings, landscapes, messages and more that address important social and ecological problems. Why Design Now? National Design Triennial accompanies the fourth installation in Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum's acclaimed National Design Triennial exhibition series. Designed by Michael Bierut, a partner in the award-winning design firm Pentagram, Why Design Now? is the first Triennial book to be truly international in reach, with 134 designers and projects in more than 44 countries. With eight essays by four Cooper-Hewitt curators, project profiles and more than 350 color illustrations, many of which have never been published before, Why Design Now? offers a glimpse into contemporary innovation, and an up-to-the-minute survey of what progressive designers, engineers, entrepreneurs and citizens are doing in diverse fields and at different scales. Many of the featured works have influenced other designers by proposing new methodologies or by pioneering new techniques; also included are practical solutions already being implemented as well as experimental ideas designed to inspire further research. Each of the selected works--from a soil-powered table lamp to a post-petroleum urban utopia--celebrates the transformative power of design.Binding Type: Hardcover

well designed
I have two of these. The number and orientation of outlets has fit all my needs. I haven't needed the USB's yet, but I'm glad they are there. The thin plug and off-center angle are very useful. One is in use under my three seat power reclining sofa, guitar multi-effects, and a couple lamps are plugged into it.
The other is in a drawer powering the air pump, power filter, lighted hood and heater for the aquarium on top of the dresser it is in.

Ideal - Organized and Many Plug-in Options
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Just what I was looking for at the bottom side of my bed stand to keep 5-7 cords organized and the area clean, .... clock, lamp, chargers, infarred heating pads, and other plug-ins and charger cords as needed.

Needs better hardware
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Yoooooo great product but what is with the comically tiny screws? Actually installing this on the underside of a wooden desk is near impossible unless, of course, you are in fact a Disney princess and in charge of a team of handy-dandy mice all with #0 Phillips head screwdrivers and 5/32" drill bits. They drill, you hold, kind of thing.

Great for cable management
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
If you are obsessed with keeping cables neatly organized for your desk, this is the perfect power strip to get. It comes with decent enough screws for mounting that will hold the weight of all the cords you plug in. The outlets on all three sides is very convenient and makes it a snap to fit all your devices in even with some having very large adapters on the plugs, which often take up a majority of the power strip. I have already purchased a couple more so I can organize my wife's desk and one of my kid's desks.
