Pay Phone Charger is a 3D-printed desktop accessory that reimagines the classic public pay phone as a MagSafe-compatible wireless charger. The miniature booth features a built-in wireless charging pad and RGB LED lighting that illuminates the "PHONE" sign while a compatible smartphone is docked inside. Available in DIY, Hand Painted, Graffiti Covered and 90's Worn Looking editions, the charger recreates different appearances associated with vintage street phone booths.
The DIY version includes an undecorated enclosure, a MagSafe charger, LED components and a retro-inspired sticker sheet for customization. Hand Painted and Graffiti Covered versions are individually finished before shipping, while custom artwork is also available upon request. Each charger is produced individually rather than in large manufacturing batches. Compatible with MagSafe-enabled smartphones, the compact design is intended for use on desks, shelves and bedside tables, combining wireless charging with illuminated decorative elements.
