Graphic designer Nataneal Gama has produced a collection of 100% ethically-made and environmentally conscious laptop stands, promising to plant one tree for every Sled stand sold.
The simplistic design is created with solid pine, with the wood exposed to show the natural beauty of the tree itself and its own intricate weaving lines. In addition, the hardwood makes Gama's design sturdy and long-lasting. Sled is made in Portugal using fair-trade business practices, meaning that workers are paid fairly and kept happy. Gama's ethical vision ensures that both people and nature are treated with the utmost respect.
The simple aesthetic of these laptop stands allows them to fit into any home while being easy to transport as well. By elevating laptops and tablets, Sled works to keep users' backs and necks straight by preventing them from slouching.
