Joris Laarman's design ethos centers on turning familiar, everyday things into objects that explore functionality--its motivations, and its subsequent incarnations. His body of work references history, human psychology, biology, and conventional values, investigating and challenging different facets of the world in which we live.

WirePod is the first piece in Artecnica's Wiremore™ collection, a series of electrical products that challenge conventions by transforming power cords and wires from concealed, passive objects into visible, active elements that aesthetically and functionally energize living and working spaces. In this vein, WirePod's tendrils possess a structural flexibility that makes the piece more useful, while visually integrating the shape and form of electric wire into the overall design environment, freeing wires once hidden from view.
