Pebble 2 is a minimalist smartphone wireless charger and bluetooth speaker by the French studio Orée. The piece is handcrafted from solid wood or marble and seamlessly blends with any workspace. The technology behind the product is quite intuitive and requires no learning curve. Simply place your smartphone on the Pebble 2 and your phone starts charging automatically and syncs instantly via bluetooth to the audio system built inside the Pebble. You can now enjoy the music or make hands-free phone calls. Here is how the designers describe their idea:

Smartphones fit our mobile lifestlyle like a glove. Yet when we are at home or in the office, they just feel bulky: we're never quite sure where we leave them, we scramble for the power cable to make sure they are charged up for our next errand and we cope with the poor sound quality of the built-in loudspeaker when we want to conveniently make hands-free calls or listen to music. We created Oree Pebble 2 so your smartphone elegantly fits your lifestyle at home or in the office.

The device uses bluetooth and standard QI technology to wirelessly charge most Android devices. Because this technology is not yet embedded in iPhones, they can be charged via a Wireless Power Sleeve, made from solid walnut and genuine vegetable tanned leather.
