Repurpose Dock
The Repurpose Dock is a premium induction charger you can repurpose as a tray at the end of its lifespan. Repurpose dock is meant to stir conversation around how our products can be better designed to reduce our excessive waste and carbon footprint. The project started with a question: Can we give a second life to a product that is designed for obsolescence? Materials: Made with bead blasted aluminum, walnut, PETG, lambskin leather, and cork.

Early concept. Inner components can be discarded and elastic fabric can be used as a tray.

Early concept with dynamic bezel transforming dock into tray.

Selected concept for development. Bottom of base becomes tray.

Filtering what forms were cliché and new, while developing a form that told the story well while also maintaining a thin profile. Also mindful of milling cost, and choosing the right surface that felt premium while also communicating coil placement through form.
