S-Box® Pop-Up Outlets
What They Are (and a Seamless USA Alternative)
If you landed here searching for the S-Box® “Chameleon” pop-up socket, you’re in the right place. We don’t sell the S-Box®, but we do offer a very similar - and exceptional - alternative: the Point Pod. It’s a premium pop-up outlet that delivers outstanding performance, seamless integration, and excellent build quality.

What is the S-Box® Chameleon?
The S-Box® Chameleon is a pop-up power module designed to sit flush and “camouflaged” within your countertop. In other words: when it’s closed, it can look like part of the stone or timber surface — until you press and lift it open.
Why designers like it
- Seamless surface look: designed to integrate countertop material into the top panel.
- Fast access to power: press-to-lift action for quick use.
- Minimal visual clutter: ideal for kitchen islands, bars, and premium joinery.
How the S-Box® lift mechanism works
S-Box® describes its mechanism as an “instant lift” / “press and lift” action with a zero-energy lift system — specifically: no motor, no springs, and no gas struts. (You can see this described on the S-Box® site here: S-Box® overview and Features & brochures.)
Looking for an S-Box®-style solution in the USA?
If you love the “flush, hidden until needed” idea, but you also want a solution that’s widely supported for USA installations, consider a fully integrated, motorized pop-up outlet like the Point Pod Connect.
At Modern Power Solutions, our “seamless insert” style option is the Point Pod range — and for most S-Box® searches, the best match is the Point Pod Connect in Silver.
Featured USA product: Point Pod Connect
The Point Pod Connect is designed for countertop integration and rises with a simple press using an electric motor. It’s built for modern kitchens and workspaces where you want power and USB access without permanently visible outlets.
