Here are three novel desktop power delivery solutions from Humanscale Design Studio.
The rise of hot-desking means mobile workers need a place to temporarily plug in a laptop and an accessory or two, and don't always need a full power strip. For this market HDS has designed this NeatHub, an easy-to-attach power solution with two AC plugs, a USB-A and a USB-C.
Their M/Connect 2 docking station is another way to deliver power to your desk neatly. The hub sits at the base of a monitor arm, keeping a minimal footprint while delivering Thunderbolt power and seven USB ports, of both -A and -C varieties.
The top hub is removable without needing to detach the monitor arm.
Those with sit/stand desks know the feeling of cable anxiety: Is there enough slack for me to raise this desk without yanking a cable? HDS' solution is this NeatUp 2.0, which attaches to the leg of a sit/stand desk and self-adjusts. There's an integrated 6-outlet power strip.
The NeatHub starts at $200; the M/Connect 2, $715 and the NeatUp 2.0 at $140.

With prices like these, they should be co-branded by Design Within Reach. $200 for a 2 AC, 1 USB-C and 1 USB-A power strip/hub is ridiculous.
