At first, you may wonder what is the practical use of the Wood Shop Candlestick Dock. Surely there are few occasions when you would require your iPhone as a source of ambient light over an intimate supper spread.
And while it would be fun to try out a flame app with your mobile phone perched atop this iconic wooden candleholder, the carefully crafted object does offer additional value. You'll see a cord and a plug escaping from the base of the piece, revealing the convenient incorporation of a functional charging station within.
The beautiful and wonderfully whimsical piece is sold by Haus Interior for $175. With this in mind, you've probably little desire to set an entire banquet table with these techie decorations.
