Innovative charging solutions for a personalized experience
Layer, a British design studio led by Benjamin Hubert, has teamed up with Indian brand Daily Objects to revolutionize the way you charge your devices at home. Their collaborative creations, Node and Loft, promise a blend of playful aesthetics and practical functionality, departing from the conventional utilitarian designs.
Introducing Node: A fresh take on modular charging
The Node system offers a unique approach with its 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 docks and a collection of four interchangeable modules. These include a wireless phone charger, charging disk, Apple Watch stand, and a portable lamp. Each module can function docked or independently, allowing you to shift your setup from your desk to your nightstand or dining table at will.
This modularity challenges the restrictive one-size-fits-all mindset, catering to diverse charging needs. With 25 Watt fast charging for phones and 5 Watts for Apple Watches, Node is tailored for efficiency. The portable lamp extends usage beyond charging, providing up to eight hours of ambient light.
Loft: A sculptural charging station for modern homes
The Loft charging station, conceived with the Indian market in mind, accommodates up to four devices with mains power and fast USB-C charging. Its sculptural, soft forms and tactile materials exemplify a cohesive, display-worthy design that transforms charging into an artful experience.
Aesthetic appeal and human-centric design
These products feature vibrant colors and soft-touch finishes, turning everyday charging into a pleasing interaction. Rounded shapes and precise design language make them approachable, while the rubber docking surfaces ensure devices are intuitively placed and secure. Soft textures reduce reflections, creating a calm, tactile experience.
Node and Loft emphasize safety, efficiency, and portability, with universal support for Apple devices. Though initially targeted for India, there’s potential for adaptation to European and North American markets. Layer’s dedication to technology with a human touch shines through their work with global giants like Nike and Samsung.
This new collection, rooted in Layer’s human-centered design philosophy, aims to enrich daily interactions with technology, making charging an enjoyable part of life rather than just a functionality.
