Sombrero Unique Cable Manager
New York-based designer Andrea Ruggiero has created Sombrero, a patent-pending cable management solution for hardware manufacturer Doug Mockett & Company, which thoroughly addresses the common problem of cable containment.

Designed to be mounted to the underside of any worksurface, this sombrero shaped spool reins in unruly cable by winding it around its core and firmly anchoring the exiting cable into any of the three V-shaped notches: This unique design feature prevents the cables from accidentally dislodging or unwinding.

Sombrero is molded in a semi-flexible elastomer and accomodates most cord diameters, ranging from smaller data cables (Ethernet, Firewire, USB, etc...) to larger power cords.

Sombrero is easily installed using only a screwdriver and can also be mounted vertically onto a wall or the back of a cabinet.

Sombrero is available exclusively through Mockett in four colours: Pimiento red, Avocado green, Agua blue, and a neutral blue-grey, called Noche.
