# Architectural Charging Stands The Upright is a Qi2.2 Wireless Charging Stand By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-upright References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modhaus/upright-wireless-charging-done-right?ref=72hhjw)  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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-stand-one-magsafe-charger)-compatible iPhones from the [iPhone 12](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravgoods-wave-charge) onward, compatible Android devices with magnetic cases, and [AirPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stand-one-max) with MagSafe charging cases. The package includes a two-meter braided USB-C cable, while the power adapter is sold separately.
