The wooden board’s squiggly charging cable cutout fits cables perfectly so that your desk or bedside space is tangle-free. The curvy design for the cord also allows for the phone and wire to be easily removed. The dock is made of Oak plywood that is left hand sanded for a natural and smooth finish.

The designer, Undulating Contours, creates many multipurpose gadget docks that help to make everyday life more tidy. The docks are created with attention to details, keeping in mind things like the angle at which your hand will grab for the station.
