Product design often misses the mark on basic stability. Most wireless chargers rely on thin rubber feet that fail to keep the device from sliding across a desk surface. The team at Modhaus addressed this common annoyance with a material pivot. Their new Upright charger uses a solid cast concrete base for weight and grip.
By moving away from lightweight plastic or metal, the device remains firmly in place during daily use. The company pairs this heavy base with a hardwood phone-facing surface, using either oak or walnut. This combination of concrete and wood provides a stark visual contrast that separates it from standard office peripherals.
The Upright charger secured its funding goal within hours of its public launch. While the primary campaign is finished, Modhaus continues to accept pre-orders for the units. It is an example of how swapping standard materials for industrial alternatives can solve everyday functional problems.
