Benjamin Hubert‘s London studio, Layer, has just unveiled a series of multifunctional ceramic trays that are capable of housing and charging your phone, tablet and other personal gadgets. Layer partnered with Italian ceramics company Bitossi Ceramiche to give its wireless trays a flush exterior and an inductive charging system — meaning that your technological device must touch the tray to gain power. Hubert conjured four sleek versions in varying sizes and finishes, including salt, crackle, matte and soba.

As a whole, the London studio emphasizes minimality as being key for its trays’ timeless design. Get a closer look at layerdesign.com.
