The 'Huggl' is a new kind of dock charger design that helps to enable users to simply place their smartphone into the cushioned cradle in order to start charging immediately. Designed in several color options, the 'Huggl' is a combination device that consists of a power bank and a dock that work together or separately to provide a functional experience for users.
The 'Huggl' is the design work of Gianni Teruzzi and is intended to help provide a functional yet stylish experience for users when it comes to smartphone charging. The dock charger is capable of having multiple devices stacked within the design in order to charge all of them at the same time. This enables users to stop scrambling for outlets in order to focus more on other tasks at hand.
