Wireless charging doesn’t have to be boring…

Building on the idea that a charging phone shouldn’t be a useless one, the Octagon Wireless Charger, quite like the Baseus Maruko Charging Cable, was designed to serve as a means for charging your phone as well as a multi-position stand for your phone. Its truncated rhombicuboctahedral shape gives it a rather neat looking sculptural/skeletal aesthetic, allowing it to not just sit on your desk but shine on your desk (literally too). Plug the cable through the back, place your phone on the non-slip front and keep your phone at any angle, in both portrait and landscape (and even diagonal) modes. The charger even comes with a rather neat glowing ring around the periphery of its charging pad to indicate active charging.

Unlike traditional chargers, the Octagon allows you to use your phone without having to lift it off the charging surface. Its design adds flavor to your desk thanks to its unique design, and functionality to your workspace by giving you the freedom to interact with your phone while it’s charging. It’s a win-win for everyone!

The Octagon is a winner of the K-Design Award for the year 2018.
