Structure, materials and finish — the design thinking and inspiration behind the wireless chargers we build for brand clients.
A low sweeping ramp forms the whole body: a flat oval foot sits on the desk, rises gently and closes into a soft rounded crest. A magnetic disc is concealed inside the crest, and a 6.1-inch phone leans back along the curve with its screen turned toward the viewer. Halfway down the ramp a shallow round recess is cut into the surface, and a 45 mm smartwatch lies perfectly flat inside it, glass up, reading from the camera as only a thin dark sliver with its closed band. An oval groove at the foot takes a closed white earbud case so that it sits flush with the ramp. The body is sandblasted graphite-grey anodised aluminium with a walnut inlay running along the crest, both materials rounded at every edge, and the cable is entirely internal. The silhouette reads as a flattened chute rather than the usual upright tower.
The three-in-one hides inside an open hardcover book. The book lies flat on its back with the front cover lifted about sixty degrees as an easel, and the phone leans against the magnetic pad on the inside of that cover, screen outward and slightly tilted up, held at a comfortable viewing angle. A shallow circular recess is cut into the flat face of the page block, where the smartwatch lies perfectly flat with its glass up and only a very thin outer rim showing, and an oval groove on the same face takes the closed white earbud case. The shell is wrapped in deep navy woven cloth with a fine blind-embossed geometric pattern and trimmed with slim matte-silver edging, and no lettering appears anywhere. Every functional part sinks into the thickness of the pages, so the whole thing closes into a book.
A three-in-one made for the car. The body is a slim matte black anodised aluminium backplate with two rubber-lined vent claws folded behind it, and a magnetic disc on the front face where a 6.1-inch phone snaps on, screen outward and tilted slightly back. A short arm folds out from the right side of the plate and ends in a small square pad where a 45 mm smartwatch lies perfectly flat, glass up, its seamless closed band hanging in a clean loop; the pad is kept clear of the case so nothing covers it. A soft slot below takes the closed white earbud case, which sits brighter and whiter than the panel and becomes the only highlight on the black body. Every contact surface is matte grey silicone, all edges are radiused, and the cable stays hidden.
The whole product is a single polished stone. A frosted translucent glass body in milky grey-white carries a soft satin sheen, and every edge is ground round as if worn by water. A broad flat face on top conceals the magnetic disc, and the phone rests on it at a very slight recline; a shallow round recess falls away on the lower shoulder, where the smartwatch lies perfectly flat with only a thin dark rim and its closed band showing. An oval hollow is scooped out at the front foot for the closed white earbud case, which sits almost flush with the stone. A ring of natural cork underneath hides the cable and lifts the glass off the desk. There is not one straight line or sharp corner in the object.
A flat matte black aluminium disc is the base, and from its rear rim a curved arm of pale ash wood rises, unfolds forward and tapers down into a concealed magnetic disc, so the phone hangs from that single bend with its screen turned to the user. The thickness and curvature of the branch are balanced for load rather than made bulky, which keeps it visually light. A shallow round recess on top of the disc is reserved for the smartwatch, which lies flat with its glass up and its seamless closed band flush on the surface, and an oval groove at the front edge takes the closed white earbud case level with the disc. The ash is finished with a silky oil and hand-sanded rounds, the aluminium is sandblasted, a fine shadow gap separates the two materials, and the cable leaves from under the base.
A single perforated panel carries the whole body. An anodised warm grey aluminium plate about two thirds the height of the phone is pierced edge to edge with a fine regular grid of round holes, its top corners rounded, standing on a thin matching base plate and leaning back at about seventy degrees. The phone rests on the front with its screen facing the viewer and completely black; on the base plate the smartwatch lies directly flat with its face up and its band closed into one circle, beside a sealed white earbud case. The regular grid gives a fine material rhythm and makes the panel read far lighter than a solid one.
A cylindrical speaker stands on a low rounded base plate: the barrel is wrapped all round in charcoal acoustic weave and capped by a brushed aluminium disc with a chamfered rim. The phone leans against the fabric barrel with its screen facing the viewer and completely black; on the right half of the base the smartwatch lies directly flat with its face up and its band closed into one seamless loop, beside a sealed white earbud case. Woven textile, brushed aluminium and matte metal line up across one object that serves both listening and charging.
Carved from a single piece of pale oak: the main slab narrows as it rises and traces a soft curve with the grain, all edges rounded and the surface sanded silky, seated at about seventy-five degrees on an oval foot of the same wood, with an almost flush magnetic pad sunk into its face. The phone leans on the wood with its screen facing the viewer and completely black; on the oval foot the smartwatch lies flat with its face up and its band closed into one seamless loop, beside a sealed white earbud case. Not a single screw, with the wood's thickness and curve carrying the whole structure.
A single ring of light holds the whole body up: a frosted satin white glass tube only about twenty millimetres across stands upright and slightly reclined, glowing warm white along its length so it reads as a thin bright outline rather than a solid disc, seated on a pale sand ceramic oval base. The phone rests against the ring with its screen facing the viewer and completely black; on the ceramic base the smartwatch lies directly flat with its face up and its band closed into one seamless loop, beside a sealed white earbud case. The slim ring fuses light source and stand into one gesture, leaving little in the picture but a glowing circle.
Two materials dividing the work cleanly: a low rounded rectangular base of matte ivory ceramic, with a slim dark walnut panel rising from its rear, bevelled at the edges and running straight with the grain, the two joined by a hair-thin brushed brass strip and the front face carrying an almost flush magnetic pad. The phone leans on the walnut with its screen facing the viewer and completely black; on the ceramic top the smartwatch lies perfectly flat with its face up and its band closed into one seamless loop, beside a sealed white earbud case. Porcelain, wood and brass set each other off inside one object, every edge rounded.
A clutch-like charging case that closes shut. Dark grey coarse-weave fabric outside, a hair-thin matte black metal band along the seam, and a lighter grey microfibre lining inside. Opened, the upper half flips up to stand as a backrest while the lower half lies flat as a shallow tray, joined by a slim hinge. The phone rests on the inside of the upright lid with its screen facing the viewer and completely black; in the tray the smartwatch lies directly flat with its face up and its band closed into one seamless loop, ahead of a sealed white earbud case. Closed, it is simply a small bag carried along, form and function inside one outline.
A minimal answer to the bedside: a shallow matte black metal dish with a gently raised rim wide enough for keys and coins, and from its rear edge a slim frosted white glass lamp column rises, glowing warm white along its whole length. The phone rests against the column with its screen facing the viewer and completely black; inside the dish the smartwatch lies directly flat with its face up and its band closed into a seamless loop, beside a bright white sealed earbud case. Matte metal, translucent glass and soft textile read as three material layers, and it lands as a small bedside table in itself.
