Gladio is an automatic hybrid of a curler and a straightener powered by a docking station.
Gladio's aesthetics trigger a sense of empowerment among its user. The user flow is purposefully designed so that when the hair tong is removed from the docking station it replicates the action of taking a sword out of its scabbard.
The curling iron can be operated through an app.
