(Sponsor) ZenStand: Walnut MagSafe Charger with Award-Winning Design

Meet the Silver Winner of the New York Product Design Awards

Most tech accessories are useful. A few are beautiful. The rarest ones are both.

The ZenStand just won Silver at the New York Product Design Awards, recognized for its quiet, anti-industrial aesthetic. A nice moment for us — and a sign the idea behind it resonates beyond us.

The idea was simple: a charger that stops feeling like tech. One that sits on a desk or nightstand the way a good object does, without announcing itself.
We made it from solid dark walnut because real wood brings a warmth to a room that molded plastic never will. We designed a weighted and adhesive base, so the phone lifts off cleanly with one hand. We left the LEDs off on purpose — a charger doesn’t need to perform being a charger. It just needs to charge.

What you end up with is a MagSafe stand that does its job properly and then gets out of the way. Which, in our view, is what good objects are supposed to do.
