Here's an example of taking design inspiration from the objects around you. Industrial designer Adam Miklosi had a sore throat. When he pulled some lozenges out of his backpack, he found his phone cable had wrapped around them:
This inspired his Co cable organizer concept:
Experimenting with different use cases, Miklosi created three different grid sizes: 2x2, 3x3 and 2x5. Each row can support a maximum of two cables stacked.
"The size of the cylinders are calculated based on the bending tolerance of USB-C-type cables," Miklosi writes. "They hold the cables perfectly locked in place without damaging them."
These are cast in silicone and feature microsuction tape on the bottom.
No word about production plans.
In addition to doing freelance ID, Hungary-based Miklosi lectures at the Széchenyi University Design Campus in Gyor and the Moholy-Nagy University (MOME) in Budapest.

Does Lego know about this? Either to sue the designer or make/market his product.
@George Mokray: I guess you weren't aware that the LEGO patent expired years ago? They have a "lock" on the market because of the quality control and precision of their parts, not mention having all the best IP cross-over deals. But anyone can make the "bricks."
They do look more like lozenge packing than Lego bricks.
