Ideally, we'd see ourselves being able to completely unplug from our desks whenever we pleased, and our desks used as multi-functional stations that alter between work and everyday living. Our biggest problem with desks these days, however, remains the same - too many cords and cables that detract from the functionality of an actual "daily table." It's time to make a change to all that... time to make them invisible (or close-to, at least).

UNDER THE TABLE:
A great example of this done properly is one of our favorite running examples; the "under-the-table" wiring management system. Above, Blupics demonstrates how it's done by incorporating grommets, screws, zip-ties, and cable management systems.


A CORD BOX:
Another great recent example was the DeskTop by Yummyguide studios, where they custom built a table from scratch with all of the cord management in mind. Using their logo as the grommet holes, they strung their iMac power cables under the table to a Blue Lounge cable box. There's also a convenient docking slot below the desk to house laptops when needed.
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY:
As for the case of tech, we're big on Bluetooth, as long as they're utilizing rechargeable batteries and contribute to a cleaner desktop system. Having things on Bluetooth also allow it to be tucked into small drawers (if your desk/table has them), making room for other tasks in your everyday work flow.

Because I change my setup pretty often on part of my desk (one half has a desktop with multiple monitors the other half plays host to any number of laptops or desktops hooked up with a kvm) I couldn't use some of these kind of options. I just mounted a bunch of cheap coat hooks under the desk and along the back to make numerous hanging points along the desk. Also replaced the skrews the held together the 2 halves of the KVM casing with longer ones so that the KVM just looks like it is floating under the desk.
