For years, Twelve South has been at the forefront of creating innovative accessories to charge our myriad of gadgets. Their latest product, the Valet, might just be their simplest yet. Essentially, it’s a stylish tray designed to hold your everyday items like keys and sunglasses, while simultaneously offering a convenient charging solution. Priced at $179.99, this elegant accessory is set to ship in the coming weeks.

The Valet’s primary function is straightforward—it’s largely a tray, elegantly covered in soft leather available in various colors. You can even customize the outer metal frame to match your style. A standout feature is the raised square on one side, which acts as a wireless charging podium capable of delivering up to 15 watts. Additionally, there’s a USB port on the side for connecting another device, also supporting up to 15 watts of charging. The Valet connects to a power source through a 36-watt supply and includes a 1.5-meter cable for easy setup.

The Valet is not designed to replace your laptop charger or serve as a multi-device charging station. Unlike Twelve South’s HiRise, which can accommodate three devices simultaneously, the Valet focuses on making the charging process for your essential devices, particularly your phone, as effortless as possible.

The allure of wireless charging has always been the dream of simply placing your device down and finding it fully charged when you pick it up. While the Valet’s charging podium may not offer complete freedom, it does minimize the hassle of cable hunting. My own experience with a Valet, stationed on my desk, has been positive. However, many will likely find a spot for it on their nightstands or in entryways.

Twelve South is joining a growing trend of companies, including industry giants like Ikea, in designing gadgets that blend seamlessly with home decor. This year’s CES has showcased numerous devices aiming to disguise their techy nature, and while the Valet may not revolutionize this concept, it certainly provides a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution.
