In our hyper-connected and digital world, designers are tasked with seamlessly incorporating technology, as well as power sources, into commercial spaces. And as 2020 takes shape, the open office no longer is a growing trend, it’s the norm. Workplaces demand features that put comfort first, like those found in hospitality and residential interiors. As the lines blur between design disciplines, one company has the ultimate solution—universal hardware that makes furnishings more functional, easing the specification process.

Power grommets are the most efficient way to outfit a range of furnishings with power and USB stations, creating charging options within reach. Doug Mockett & Company’s power grommets are easily configurable, with options to include an exact number of outlets as well as voice/data or audio/video connections for a single user or a shared community charging space.

The brand offers a number of different mounting applications for different uses. One of the most versatile options is a pop-up grommet, which features a tower or carriage that flips up by pressing the lid for access, then seamlessly blends back in when not in use.
