Loops & Cheese: A Sculptural Solution for Cable Management

Revolutionizing Cable Organization with Style and Functionality

Loops & Cheese stands out from other cable management systems with its distinctive design and materials. Made to be produced on demand using 3D printing technology, this nylon-based sculpture is flexible yet strong, ensuring minimal stress on cables. Its sleek and modern form is not only functional but also visually appealing, making it an eye-catching addition to any desktop.

One of the key features of Loops & Cheese is its Swiss cheese-inspired holes, which not only add a unique aesthetic element but also help save on material. This attention to detail showcases Hsu's commitment to both functionality and sustainability.

With three different sizes available, Loops & Cheese can accommodate various table thicknesses, ensuring a perfect fit for any workspace. The dimensions range from 50mm x 60mm x 25mm to 50mm x 78mm x 25mm, providing flexibility and versatility for users.

Using Loops & Cheese is simple and intuitive. The device easily slips onto the edge of a table, providing a secure and stable base for cables. Users can choose to rest the cables between the loops for easy removal or thread them through the loops for a more permanent placement. This versatility allows for a personalized cable management experience.

Developed in 2013, Loops & Cheese was a response to the lack of aesthetically pleasing cable management solutions in the market. Traditional systems often prioritize utility over design, resulting in unsightly and cumbersome additions to workspaces. Hsu's design aims to change that by offering a solution that combines functionality and visual appeal.

Despite its innovative design, the production cost of Loops & Cheese remains a challenge. While 3D printing allows for on-demand and local production, the durability of the material and the overall cost still need improvement. However, Hsu remains hopeful that with time, these challenges will be overcome, making Loops & Cheese more accessible to a wider audience.

Recognized for its ingenuity and creativity, Loops & Cheese was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2017 in the category of 3D Printed Forms and Products. This prestigious accolade highlights the design's contribution to improving quality of life through its seamless integration of art, science, design, and technology.
