Most smartphone stands position your handset so that it's oriented upright, but this isn't always the ideal alignment. The designer of the RING iPhone Dock recognized this shortcoming and came up with a product better suited for physical adaptability.
A sophisticated combination of warmly stained wood and reflective polished metal make up the electronic accessory, embodying the abstract intrigue and luxurious materiality of a sculpture. When not in use, Dong Sung Jung's piece can become a decorative object in its own right.
Beyond this appealing aspect of the RING iPhone Dock's appearance, the tracked mobile phone hookup is the cake beneath the icing. It can be manipulated to rotate around the railed disc, offering the user a portrait, landscape or a slanted view of the device's touchscreen.
