About Mogics

Mogics is a design-oriented consumer-electronics and travel-accessories brand best known for creating ultra-compact power, charging, lighting, and travel products. Its central design philosophy is summarized by the phrase “Moving Magic”: the company aims to take ordinary products and make them substantially smaller, more portable, and more multifunctional without sacrificing usability.

The brand is particularly associated with its distinctive circular “Donut” and “Bagel” power strips, which combine a travel adapter and multiple power outlets in a compact ring-shaped form. Mogics products have also received international design recognition, including a Red Dot Design Award for the Super Bagel 2.

Brand Philosophy

Mogics describes its underlying concept as “Moving Magic.” The brand states its goal is to make products “ultra-compact but unbelievably functional,” improving on conventional products through more efficient designs.

This philosophy is reflected in several recurring characteristics:

  • Compactness: Products are designed to occupy as little physical space as possible.
  • Portability: Many products are intended to fit easily into a bag or even a pocket.
  • Multifunctionality: Several conventional products or functions are combined into one object.
  • Cable management: Mogics frequently incorporates ways of storing or retracting cables.
  • Industrial design: Shape and physical interaction are treated as important parts of the product rather than afterthoughts.
  • Travel orientation: A major part of the brand’s identity revolves around people who work, study or travel away from home.

In essence, Mogics focuses less on producing generic electronic accessories and more on rethinking the physical form of everyday objects.

History and Development

Mogics emerged around the idea that everyday products used by travelers could be dramatically reduced in size while retaining their essential functions. The company’s history describes its target audience as people who are frequently away from home, including international workers, students studying abroad and travelers dealing with limited living or luggage space 2.

One of the brand’s most important early product concepts was the Mogics Power Donut / Power Bagel. These products addressed a common travel problem: carrying both a power strip and a universal travel adapter.

Rather than making another conventional rectangular extension board, Mogics arranged the electrical outlets around a circular body. The result was a product that could be carried considerably more easily than a conventional power strip. Mogics was promoting the Power Donut and Bagel by January 2016, with the Bagel designed as the international/universal version.

The concept subsequently evolved into the Mogics Super Bagel, which added newer charging capabilities and an improved universal-adapter design. Current product information describes the Super Bagel as an evolution based partly on feedback received since the original Bagel’s launch.

Product Family

Mogics has developed a broad portfolio around its compact-design philosophy.

Power Donut

The Power Donut is one of the products most strongly associated with the Mogics identity. Its circular body functions as a compact power strip, with the US-oriented Donut version offering:

  • 5 AC sockets
  • 2 USB ports
  • Integrated 92 cm power cable
  • Retractable/adjustable cable storage
  • LED power indicator
  • Safety fuse
  • Ergonomically integrated plug

The circular form is not merely cosmetic. By arranging sockets around the ring, Mogics creates additional space around each plug, which is particularly useful when several bulky chargers are connected.

Power Bagel

The Power Bagel takes the Donut concept and makes it more suitable for international travel. The second-generation Power Bagel is specified with:

  • 4 universal AC outlets
  • 1 US AC outlet
  • 2 USB ports
  • 92 cm retractable cable
  • Integrated 6.3A safety fuse
  • Spare fuse storage
  • Compact 32 mm thickness 4

Its basic proposition is simple: one small circular device can replace several conventional travel-power accessories.

Super Bagel

The Super Bagel represents a later generation of the Bagel concept. The product combines a universal travel adapter and circular power strip, with versions incorporating USB-C charging. The Red Dot Design Museum describes it as having five AC outlets and two USB charging ports, with an integrated 92 cm cable and safety-fuse system 3.

Mogics itself describes the Super Bagel as having improved compatibility, including redesigned European pins, as well as USB-C functionality.

Mogics Adapter

The Mogics Adapter / MA1 is another signature example of the company’s miniaturization approach. Official specifications describe a cylindrical adapter measuring approximately 37 mm in diameter and 26 mm in height. It integrates UK, EU and Australian-style plug functions and uses a rotating mechanism for the earth connection. It also incorporates a replaceable 6.3A fuse.

The Adapter was designed to work independently or together with Mogics power products such as the Donut and Bagel.

Chargers

Mogics has also developed compact charging products intended to serve both its own ecosystem and ordinary mobile devices. The company’s charger concept incorporates what it calls the Mogics Docking System, allowing Mogics devices to interact with the charger more conveniently. The product line has included USB-C charging functionality and integrated cable concepts.

Lighting and Other Products

Mogics is not exclusively a power-accessory company. Its current website organizes products into several categories:

  • Illumination — including products such as Coconut, Light 1, Ice Fire, Infinity and MHS
  • Power — Super Bagel, Donut & Bagel, Charger and Adapter
  • Entertainment — including speakers
  • Camping — including CARSULE
  • Accessories — cables, stands, holders, clips and magnetic accessories

This broader portfolio reflects the company’s stated ambition to apply its compact-design philosophy to different aspects of mobile life.

Design Language

Mogics has a particularly recognizable visual identity.

Circular geometry

The circle is probably the most recognizable element of the brand. The Donut and Bagel names directly reference their circular form.

The shape has functional advantages: it allows sockets to be distributed around the perimeter while keeping the product relatively compact. The Red Dot Design Museum specifically notes that the circular arrangement gives plugs more room and reduces the likelihood of bulky adapters blocking neighboring sockets 3.

Integrated components

Instead of treating cables, plugs and adapters as separate accessories, Mogics often tries to integrate them directly into the product. For example, the Power Donut and Bagel incorporate a 92 cm cable with a rolling storage mechanism, allowing the user to extend only the amount of cable required.

Small physical footprint

Miniaturization is arguably the defining characteristic of the brand. The Mogics Adapter, for example, is deliberately designed around a very small cylindrical body rather than the typical bulky rectangular travel adapter.

Mogics and Travel

Travel is central to Mogics’ brand positioning. A conventional international traveler might need to carry:

  1. A universal travel adapter
  2. An extension cord or power strip
  3. USB chargers
  4. Multiple charging cables

Mogics attempts to consolidate several of these functions into a single compact product. The Power Bagel and Super Bagel therefore occupy an interesting category between a travel adapter, extension board and charging hub. This makes the products particularly relevant for hotels, airports, coworking spaces and other environments where electrical outlets are scarce.

The company’s own brand history explicitly frames Mogics around people who live or work away from home and need to carry personal devices despite limited space 2.

Design Recognition

One of Mogics’ most notable achievements is recognition for the design of the Super Bagel. The Red Dot Design Museum Singapore lists the Mogics Super Bagel Travel Adapter & Power Strip and identifies its design characteristics, including the circular form, integrated cable, multiple outlets, USB charging and compact construction 3.

This recognition underscores that Mogics positions itself not merely as an electronics manufacturer but as a design-led product brand.

Differentiation

Mogics’ differentiation can be summarized as functional miniaturization. A typical power strip might prioritize the number of outlets and use a long rectangular body. A typical travel adapter might prioritize compatibility but become bulky because of its multiple plug mechanisms.

Mogics approaches the problem differently: How can several useful functions be physically reorganized into a much smaller object?

The Bagel is a particularly good example. Instead of simply shrinking a conventional power strip, Mogics changes its geometry, integrates the cable into the body, combines it with travel-adapter functionality and adds USB charging.

Target Market

Mogics primarily appeals to people who value portability and space efficiency, including:

  • Frequent international travelers
  • Business travelers
  • Digital nomads
  • Students studying abroad
  • Remote workers
  • Photographers and other mobile professionals
  • People working in shared spaces
  • Consumers who dislike cable clutter
  • Design-conscious technology users

Its products can also be useful in ordinary homes and offices. Mogics itself positions the Power Donut as useful not only for travel but also as a compact everyday power strip for desks and workspaces.

Presence in Singapore

Mogics products are sold in Singapore through local retail channels. For example, Singapore retailer Interstellar Goods describes itself as an authorized retailer and official Singapore partner of Mogics and lists products such as the Power Bagel and Super Bagel 4.

The brand is also represented through the Red Dot Design Museum Singapore’s retail operation, where the Super Bagel is presented as a design-focused travel product 3.

Brand Positioning

Mogics occupies a space between consumer electronics, industrial design, travel accessories and lifestyle products. It does not primarily compete on having the highest charging wattage, the largest battery or the lowest price. Instead, its strongest proposition is smart physical design.

The brand’s products are intended to make familiar objects smaller, easier to carry, easier to organize, more multifunctional, and visually distinctive. This gives Mogics a design-led identity similar to other companies that turn mundane everyday accessories into highly engineered lifestyle products.

Strengths

  • Distinctive industrial design: The circular Donut/Bagel concept is immediately recognizable.
  • Excellent portability: Compact construction is central to virtually every major Mogics product.
  • Multifunctionality: Several conventional travel accessories can be consolidated into one device.
  • Cable management: Integrated retractable cable systems reduce clutter.
  • Travel-oriented engineering: Universal sockets and adapter compatibility are designed around international use.
  • Design recognition: The Super Bagel has received Red Dot-related recognition 2.
  • Strong product identity: Product names such as Donut, Bagel and Super Bagel reinforce the brand’s distinctive visual language.

Identity Summary

Mogics is a design-driven lifestyle-electronics brand built around the idea of turning bulky everyday products into compact, multifunctional objects for people who are constantly on the move.

Its Power Donut, Power Bagel and Super Bagel are the clearest expressions of that philosophy: they transform the familiar rectangular power strip into a compact circular travel device while integrating features such as universal outlets, USB charging, retractable cables and safety protection.
