LAYER Node and Loft are a Modular Charging Collection and Station

The LAYER Node and Loft combine a modular charging dock with a desktop charging station. Node is available as a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 configuration. It supports four interchangeable modules. The options include a Wireless Charging Phone Stand, Wireless Charging Disk, Apple Watch Charging Stand, and Portable Lamp. Each module attaches to the base for desk use. It can also be removed for use elsewhere. The system uses a single-wire setup to reduce cable clutter.

Loft is a 65W charging station that powers up to four devices at once through mains and USB-C connections. It has a compact arched form and a minimal design. The collection shares rounded shapes, tactile materials, and a circular charging motif across both products. LAYER developed the charging range for Daily Objects. The studio designed the collection to integrate into home workspaces and other everyday environments.
