A Tech-savvy Generation

1. Phone Stand

Let’s face it, smartphones will eventually take over every single piece of handheld technology we have today. From a measly bar with a small green-tinted display, our phone evolved into a computer, camera, and media player, just to name a few. It is not surprising that phone stands came out on top. In a 2019 study, there are more than 17 million smartphones being used in Australia alone.

We have:

Minimalist phone stand that is manufactured from natural bamboo and will display a smartphone horizontally or vertically. Bamboo is a natural material and because the plant is fast growing, it places less demands on natural resources and produces a material that is durable and versatile. Bamboo can also produce unavoidable variances in the grain pattern, colour and branding.
