The Base by Peel is a desk-friendly platform that stops charging cords from slipping off an elevated surface and onto the floor. Slim, compact technology has a lot of advantages, but a thin, easy-to-lose design is not one of them.
The Base offers a solution to the annoyances related to smart technology, through offering a magnetized foundation that holds any cords in place. After unplugging a device, simply place the cord on The Base for quick and easy access. The magnetized platform can grip USB jacks, lightning connectors, cables and wires. Made from handcrafted walnut wood, these geometric devices will seamlessly blend into any desk or table, while acting like coasters for one's device, ensuring everything stays neat and organized.
