The conceptual 'HYUU' wireless smartphone charger is a meditative technology accessory designed by Juwon Kim that aims to transform the user experience and help them disconnect, if only for a short period of time. The charger draws design inspiration from Japanese Zen gardens and features a series of fluid lines across the top that also works to make the unit aesthetically pleasing when positioned in the home. The unit is paired with an incense-inspired indicator that will use digital light to let the user know how much the device has charged without the need to wake the screen and thus disturb their break from use.
The conceptual 'HYUU' wireless smartphone charger acts as a simple yet stylish way to help potentially curb technology addiction tendencies by encouraging users to leave their device unattended for extended periods.
