The Table-loving Cable

How many times have you unplugged your phone’s charging cable, only to have it sliding off your desk and then onto the floor? It happens with me nearly every time… enough to become a serious annoyance.

Which is why the Base by Peel is just ideal (it rhymed, therefore it must be true). Handcrafted from walnut wood in New York and coated with Danish Oil to increase its longevity, these little geometric products act as coasters of sorts for your cables and wires. A magnet under the wooden surface allows it to grip onto lightning connectors, or USB jacks, so that the cable doesn’t slip away from your table. The wooden construction allows it to blend perfectly with your wooden table, or even stand out in contrast against a glass table. Plus it comes in 4 delightfully minimal geometric shapes based on your fancy. I personally love the pentagon… but what I love more is the fact that my cables won’t ever pull a fast one on me again!
