Design Analysis
The existing I-Strip Extension board design offers, a long elongated rectangular form with soft radii edges and low profile height. Along with the an LED strips running on two sides providing uniform indication of power.

Ideation
Based on the project brief, the ideation phase focused on developing a form language that aligns with the brand’s existing product lineup while introducing a refined visual identity. A key design challenge was seamlessly integrating the LED indicators—an essential functional element—alongside the precise placement of sockets and USB ports without disrupting the overall visual balance. To achieve this, the design maintained an elongated and slim profile, with explorations centered around soft, rounded geometries and smooth transitional surfaces that create a cohesive and approachable aesthetic.
