Orée, the French company that combines technology with luxury craftsmanship, has launched new additions to its range of computer accessories in the form of a wireless marble charging pebble and a wooden touch slab – or touch pad, to you and me.
The wireless charger is made of marble and wood and uses the wireless Qi charging standard, meaning it will work with Qi-compliant charging sleeves for your smartphone, or directly with devices that have the Qi standard built-in. The charger comes in the choice of red or white marble, costs €110 and is due to start shipping from October 21. Orée also provides its own wireless charging sleeve that will fit the iPhone 5 or Galaxy S4 for €90.
The wooden “touch slab” follows up on their original wooden keyboard and can also work as a number pad using a provided numeric overlay. Complementing its keyboard perfectly, the touch pad is available to pre-order now in walnut or maple for €150. Shipping is due to start from October 21.
