The 'Switch' phone charging stand is a sleek [wireless charger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-adapter) that takes inspiration from ocean waves. Rather than being sleek and high-tech, the curvaceous design is sculpted from American Walnut, which sits below a sleek ceramic surface. On the ceramic surface, the design uses a series of [micro-suction caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultracharge-magnetic-charger-25w) in order to get a grip on the smooth back of a cell phone.

Even though the phone doesn't need to be hooked up to any wires in order to charge itself, it delivers a charge of 1,000 mA within about a 5-7 mm distance, with about 73% accuracy. Some of today's smartphones are now coming with the ability to be [charged without cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/al-charger) right of the box, but if you find yourself still tangled up in cords, this is a clever way to give yourself some freedom.
