“The 55-66-88 [phone stand] from CW&T is visually unique, efficient, and affordable. Non-designers are not familiar with the brand and will find the solution striking. It is a memorable gift for those that you don’t live near, as it signals a desire to keep in touch across distance. The 55-66-88 is simple in geometry yet complex in meaning.
It’s a well-designed approach to a common problem. It shows that good design can disrupt a crowded market of similar offerings/solutions. I backed their Kickstarter and enjoyed reading about their journey and obsession with the manufacturing details.
CW&T sells compelling approaches to fairly pedestrian categories. They have a unique perspective on how humans interact with products and re-contextualize the mundane.”
