Beaded Electrical Cords by Nathalie Costes - Neatorama

French artist Nathalie Costes threaded large wooden beads through electrical cords to turn your cord chaos into decorative elements instead (or trip hazard, depending on your age and point of view): http://www.nathaliecostes.com/nathalie_costes/2009/03/nouveaux-sautoirs-%C3%A9lectriques-en-vente-dans-happy-new-home-.html - via Apartment Therapy

My, my, those Europeans certainly have large plugs, don't they ?

I'm of two minds about this one: my anal side hates cord clutter, but my paranoid side would worry about concealing wear and tear, especially after removing one end to thread the beads.

Guess I'll have to pass...

I wish I knew somehwere to get those huge beads! I guess they were handcrafted especially for the job.

Try a sex shop, just don't ask why they sell them.

The plugs are large because they contain a fuse.

Thanks, Alice !

Useful information ! I love the Internet !

Pardon my typical American ignorance, so does that mean that every appliance is separately fused ? Sounds safer. Why don't WE do that ?

If you must have a cord running across the floor for some reason, this seems like a good way to make it less of a trip hazard as it'll be more visible. But it also makes cables take up more space and (in my opinion) look uglier. I wonder if there are snap-on beads that don't require removing the plug to thread them? This would seem a lot safer to me if that were the case.

That would be a neat way to protect my chords from my pet rabbit.

Hey, that's a great idea. Bunny teeth will slide right off of those.
