This innovative 25W Qi2.2 charging stand features a triangular base of hand-cast concrete and a face crafted from solid hardwood. The charger’s form and design are more reminiscent of a sculptor’s creation than a tech gadget.
Form and Functionality in Elegant Balance
Weighing over 600 grams, the Upright charger is both sturdy and stylish. Its design ensures seamless one-handed docking, with a soft-touch charging pad safeguarding your device. The stand’s ergonomic design holds your phone at a 30-degree viewing angle, ideal for hands-free use during charging.
