This funky little product is called the Tree of Charge. Designed by Ralph Kraeuter for RADIUS, this aluminum tree houses all of your ugly charger plugs in its base, leaving only the wires visible, which can wrap around the branches of the tree, making a prettier place to [charge your gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-wireless-charger).

One great factor of this design is that you can leave [all your chargers in one place](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagon-310); no more rooting around drawers for the on charger you need, and no more untangling that [mess of wires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discreet-charging-station) that lurks there.
