Bocci designed a range of electrical accessories “that will radically change the aesthetics of room interiors. (The concept) will bring a welcome freshness to this tired corner of the industry.” The outlet is just a minimal feature that sits flush floating on the wall, visible by one or a pair of interchangeable electrical outlets; a very clean and stunningly beautiful solution for something we may have never paid attention to in an interior space. The appealing function is however the modular outlet design.

This analogue indicator concept deviates from traditional signal indicators. It is an intelligent visual indicator and traffic management philosophy that extends beyond the signal itself. Traditional indicators display the signals by three independent colored indicators for the motion of go, caution and stop. Inspired by the Marshalite, a rotary traffic signal designed by Charles Marshall used in Australia until the 1970s, analogue indicators display the precise progression through the identical cycle. Where traditional signals force users to estimate the time remaining before a signal change, analogue indicators alleviates uncertainty by an intuitive yet unified recognition of colors, shapes, relative proportions and fluid animations upon one single display. Technological advances enable the flexibility and unity of cycle timing, for one independent signal, or those interconnected throughout the transportation network. I propose this as the evolutionary revolution to the century old technology that is traditional signal indicators; analogue indicators being efficient, adaptive and intelligent.
