The brief for this project was to create a wireless phone charger with a second function. Various forms and home products were benchmarked for inspiration. Concepts including both speakers and lighting were considered with the later subsequently being chosen as the second function for the charger. 

The concept chosen for this project was a for a desk lamp that would hide your phone as it charges. The form was to be a simple wooden box featuring mood lighting to create whatever atmosphere the user desired. 

Revive allows its user to recharge their phone in an out of bounds space. This promotes focused work without distractions and also allows for them to relax and unwind without the draw of social media or interruption of notifications. Perhaps you have experienced the enticement of scrolling social media, reading the latest news articles or watching YouTube or tiktoks for hours at night when you intended on getting some rest. Revive allows its user to recharge their phone while they themselves recharge through sleep by creating warm mood lighting and eliminating distractions. 

Sketch models were initially created using foam core and balsa wood to test sizing and form of product.

The working prototype was created using layers of MDF, opal polycarbonate, LED strips, and wood contact for desired finish. The platform inside the box where the phone is charged was designed to be easily removable to access electronics in case of failures. the final marketed product could perhaps use this internal space for user storage as the electronics would not need to take up as much space.
