Available in Oak Green and Stockholm Black.Wall socket extender · Avolt · Stockholm · Square 2 · 3× Schuko · 2× USB-C · PD 3.0 · Red Dot 2019The gift for everyone who needs more outlets — but not more cable clutterEveryone knows it: the beige power strip on the floor, the cable chaos behind the desk, the bulky multi-adapter that ruins an otherwise carefully designed room. Johan Runströmer and Viktor Lundberg solved this problem with the Square 2 — not with another strip, but with a cube. The Square 2 plugs directly into a wall outlet, needs no cable of its own, and doesn’t block the adjacent socket. Three Schuko outlets, two USB-C ports with Power Delivery 3.0 — all in 7.6 × 7.6 × 11.5 cm, awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2019, and rated 4.85 out of 5 stars across more than 223 reviews. A gift for everyone who values order and good design.Why a cube? The geometry that makes the differenceThe key advantage is in the shape. Flat power strips force all cables in the same direction — and usually block the adjacent wall socket in the process. The Square 2 has its three outlets on three different sides of the cube: cables run in different directions, don’t pile on top of each other, and the adjacent wall socket stays free. No cable tangle, no blocked outlets. This isn’t a design flourish — it’s a technical decision that noticeably improves everyday life.Product details BrandAvolt ModelSquare 2 DesignersJohan Runströmer & Viktor Lundberg OriginStockholm, Sweden Sockets3× Schuko (Type F, CEE 7/3) USB-C2× USB-C, Power Delivery 3.0, max. 30 W (shared) Max. load3,680 W / 16 A Dimensions7.6 × 7.6 × 11.5 cm MaterialPC + ABS, 20 % recycled plastic, matte finish AwardRed Dot Design Award 2019 ColoursOak Green, Stockholm Black Frequently asked questionsIsn’t the Square 2 too expensive for a power socket?Compared to a cheap plastic power strip: yes. Compared to what you get: no. The Square 2 is in daily use and permanently visible — on the bedside table, at the desk, in the kitchen. For something you use that often and see that clearly, it’s worth investing in quality and design. And 4.85 out of 5 stars from over 223 reviews speaks for itself.Does the USB-C port charge a laptop?Yes — with Power Delivery 3.0 and up to 30 W per port (5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5A, 15V/2A, 20V/1.5A). That’s enough for most ultrabooks, all current smartphones, and tablets. For high-performance laptops requiring 45 W or more, the Schuko outlet with the original charger is the better option.Does the cube block the other wall socket?No — that’s one of the main advantages of the cube shape. The Square 2 plugs into one of the two wall sockets and extends upwards, not sideways. The second socket stays free. With most flat multi-adapters, this is often not the case.What colours is the Square 2 available in?At Charles & Marie, the Square 2 comes in two colours: Oak Green (a warm, muted olive green) and Stockholm Black (deep matte black). Both versions have the same matte finish and identical technical specifications.Square 2 — Avolt, Stockholm. The cube that replaces the power strip.

The Square 2 was designed by Johan Runströmer and Viktor Lundberg and received the Red Dot Design Award in 2019. The cube form is not purely an aesthetic decision: three Schuko outlets distributed across three different sides of the cube mean that cables can be routed in different directions without interfering with each other, and the second wall socket remains usable. The Square 2 is an example of design and engineering arriving at the same answer.Power Delivery 3.0: What 30 W means in practiceThe two USB-C ports of the Square 2 support Power Delivery 3.0 with a full voltage profile: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5A, 15V/2A, 20V/1.5A. A single port delivers up to 30 W — sufficient for fast-charging all current smartphones, AirPods, Apple Watch, and many ultrabooks. The Square 2 can replace a separate USB charger, reducing the number of wall sockets needed in the first place.Product details BrandAvolt ModelSquare 2 DesignersJohan Runströmer & Viktor Lundberg OriginStockholm, Sweden Sockets3× Schuko (Type F, CEE 7/3) USB-C2× USB-C, Power Delivery 3.0, max. 30 W (shared) Max. load3,680 W / 16 A Dimensions7.6 × 7.6 × 11.5 cm MaterialPC + ABS, 20 % recycled plastic, matte finish AwardRed Dot Design Award 2019 ColoursOak Green, Stockholm Black Frequently asked questionsWhy a cube instead of a flat power strip?With flat multi-adapters, all plugs face the same direction — leading to cable collisions and often blocking the adjacent wall socket. The cube shape of the Square 2 distributes three outlets across three different sides: cables can be freely positioned in different directions, and the second wall socket stays usable. It’s a geometric solution to a concrete everyday problem.Which devices does the USB-C port charge?All devices with USB-C and Power Delivery support: current iPhones, Android smartphones, iPads, AirPods, Apple Watch, and ultrabooks up to approximately 30 W. The Square 2 automatically detects the connected device and selects the optimal voltage. For devices requiring 45 W or more (MacBook Pro, many Windows laptops), the Schuko outlet with the original charger is more appropriate.What does the 20% recycled content mean for the product?The Square 2 housing is made from PC + ABS plastic with 20 % recycled content. Avolt treats this as a fixed part of the product specification, not a marketing gesture. The matte surface finish is equally deliberate: it reduces visible fingerprints and makes the cube easier to maintain than a gloss surface.Square 2 — Avolt, Stockholm. 3× Schuko, 2× USB-C PD 3.0, cube geometry.
