Our story
Place. Charge. Forget.
A story of a bedside table, 2000-grit paper, and an obsession with things that last. Anne, and three years in Hyères.
It all started on a bedside table in Hyères.
In 2022, Anne shared a flat in Hyères with two Apple devices, two cables, and a bedside table that was a mess every morning.
She was looking for a 3-in-1 charger that would belong in a beautiful room. Everything she found was bulky, plastic, industrial. The kind of thing no one would dare place next to a ceramic lamp or a hardback book.
So she decided to design one herself.
Anne, founder
A seamstress. An obsession.
To make something useful and beautiful. Not a gadget. Something that earns its place on a table.
The idea.
Anne trained as a seamstress. She spent five years making collections for Parisian fashion brands — used to materials you touch, finishes you look at closely.
The first prototype was 3D-printed in a FabLab in Toulon. Three months of research. Six versions. The seventh stood up on its own, charging an iPhone, an Apple Watch and AirPods at once. Above all — it was beautiful.
Anne brought people on board: an electronics engineer, a co-founder for the first funding round, then the team that now runs production and customer service. But the brand remains hers — one founder, one signature.
We turned down the easy option. All injection-moulded plastic, delivered in three months, a comfortable margin. It would have been easy. It would have been just like everyone else.— Anne, founder
The gamble of hand-polishing.
Instead of an industrial finish, we chose hand-polishing. Three passes — 400, 800, 2000 grit paper. Forty minutes per charger. A cost in materials and time that should have killed the project.
But that touch is what makes the difference. When a charger leaves the workshop, it has a texture no mass-produced object has. Something silky, almost alive. You set it down on a table and you want to touch it.
Large-scale production takes place in our workshop in the industrial zone. The hand-finishing, quality control and touch-ups happen in our shop-workshop in Hyères. What comes out of Hyères is the final care given to every piece.
Three years on
We wanted to make an object, not a brand. Today, customers come back to buy more for their parents, their children. That tells us we made something that lasts.— Anne, founder
Our mission.
To make everyday objects — a charger, a lamp, a pen holder — that earn their place. Not "designed" in the marketing sense. Beautiful in the sense of: pleasant to touch, to look at, to set down.
To make objects that last. That can be repaired. That get passed on. That don't end up in landfill after eighteen months.
That's why we work by hand, why we offer a genuine 2-year parts and labour warranty, and why we take back chargers at the end of their life. Little by little, one gesture at a time.
