SLYK™ applies innovation and design experience to create a beautiful collection of Apple Certified charging stations and stands for your iPad and iPhone.
In 2015, Adrian Maile started to sketch out ideas for products that he wished he already owned — products that would make using smartphones and tablets easier, more enjoyable and more comfortable.
As a large, extended family, his home was becoming overrun with devices and their charging cables. Phones and tablets covered every surface, and it was hard to find a free wall socket — even to boil the kettle.
Charging cables would frequently fail, break or simply disappear. Forever being moved and ‘borrowed,’ everyone started to write their initials on things to try and create some order and boundaries, but they still went missing.
These expensive and treasured devices often got knocked onto hard floors and damaged — or completely broken. At one stage, almost every device had a cracked screen, but continued to be used because the repairs were too expensive.
During that frustrating time, Adrian started to shop around for solutions, but all of the products he found either broke easily, didn’t work properly, or were ridiculously expensive. He wanted to find a solution, so he sat down and thought about what the problems really were and how he might solve them.
The results of nearly five years of design and development work are shown within the SLYK Collection – a Pillow Stand, a Bathroom Stand, a Table and Wall Stand, a Floor Stand and a Charging Station.
“I believe that the ‘SLYK Collection’ will be popular with everyone who owns a smartphone or tablet, particularly for families, but also professionals for use at work and for companies who want to offer their employees practical and productivity-enhancing technology. I believe we have created products that fit into a new category that we call ‘SmartWare.’ Simple technology that makes using modern phones and tablets easier and more pleasurable.“
Adrian Maile, Founder of SLYK
