Drop is a wireless charging device that extends the smart series family into the wireless charging industry. Designed to seamlessly integrate into modern spaces, the charger features the same anti-dust polyester fabric on top, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic harmony. One of the key pain points observed was that phones could easily slip off the charging surface, disrupting the charging experience.
To address this, we incorporated silicone printing on the fabric top, strategically applied in a diagonal pattern inspired by traditional Japanese family crests. This pattern not only enhances the visual appeal but also increases friction, providing a stable grip for phones during charging. The base housing is made from CNC aluminum, designed not only for durability but also to enhance heat dissipation during charging, ensuring optimal performance.
