Elos is a range of switches and sockets made from recycled animal bones which have electrical insulation properties and at present are simply a polluting waste by-product of the meat industry. The inspiration for the shape of the socket is the structure of the head of a femur, the switches are designed with the shaft bone in mind. Other components can be added such as a cable winder and a cell phone charging station.
