Cone Cable
The Cone Cable is part of the Tom Dixon X Native Union collaboration and cleverly conceals a compact USB-A to Lightning stainless steel charging cable. Hidden within a stylishly designed aluminium cone, the slick device’s convex glass cap on the protective cone screws off to double as a smart magnifying glass. The super practical loop design allows you to attach the cable to bags for easy access. In a very stylish way, it solves the problem of remembering to carry a charging cord around with you, and is the latest in a line of smart, fashionable tech accessories with a strong luxury twist.
Drop Wireless Charger

The charging pad of the Drop Wireless Charger is built with hard-wearing home textiles and aircraft grade aluminium, and features a USB-C to USB-A braided charging cable. You can use it with the iPhone X , iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, and numerous Qi-enabled Android devices. There’s even a leather strap that helps you adjust the length of the cable to help you declutter and keep it clean. It comes in various colors, such as our fave and overly trendy “rose” hue.
