The UFFO Dock is Both Practical and Ornamental
Meghan Young — April 19, 2011 — Art & Design
As much as you may appreciate gimmicky tech accessories, there's nothing better than a simple and sophisticated design such as the UFFO Dock. This charging station is made for the grown-up with a contemporary home. Looking like some kind of serving dish, this dock blends in perfectly with its modern surroundings, only belying its nature when in use.
Designed by Isabella Lovero and Enrico Bosa of en&is design studio, the UFFO Dock is made out of wood and ceramics. It is able to charge a myriad of different devices and gadgets such as iPhones and MP3 players.
What I like best about the UFFO Dock, aside from its sleek look, is the fact that it provides a convenient hiding spot for wires and cables.
