The Upright was developed by Modhaus as a Qi2.2 wireless charging stand that combines consumer electronics with furniture-inspired materials. The charger features a hand-cast concrete base paired with a solid hardwood face available in Walnut, Oak, or Black-Stained Oak. Weighing more than 600g, the stand remains stable during one-handed docking and removal, while its tapered form positions compatible devices at a 30-degree viewing angle for charging, FaceTime, StandBy mode, and Face ID. The soft-touch charging surface protects devices, and a protective bumper lines the underside of the base.
The charging stand delivers up to 25W of wireless power when paired with a 30W or higher USB-C adapter and supports MagSafe-compatible iPhones from the iPhone 12 onward, compatible Android devices with magnetic cases, and AirPods with MagSafe charging cases. The package includes a two-meter braided USB-C cable, while the power adapter is sold separately.
