22

“This is just beautifully made,” said Breitling of Omer Arbel’s 22 series of interior wall accessories. Created to be flush-mounted into drywall or millwork without the need for cover plates, Arbel’s design transforms the standard three-pronged power receptacle into a grinning anthropomorphized character if clustered in groups. Alternatively, when scattered sparingly, the seamless socket can evoke a more simple, stripped-down aesthetic. The three jurors also raved about the 22’s stainless steel removal tool, which extracts the sockets in case the outlet needs rewiring. “This has to be the best accessory ever,” noted Oliver, tool in hand.
