When the device is folded, Mu is compact and fits easily in your bag and without the fear of the prongs damaging your kit. The designer Min-Kyu Choi’s explains the concept design (see the video below) and according to the reports the video was a big viral hit. Here’s what the designer says about the folding USB adapter “I was frustrated by the dimensions of the traditional plug, and felt that the existing unit, which dates back to 1947, was out of touch and incongruous with modern design. My idea was very simple — redesign the plug to bring it in line with the clean look and feel of today’s technology, without compromising functionality”.
