Efficient. Minimal. Innovative. These qualities delineate the digital nomad of today from the masses, especially when it comes to our everyday stuff. And if these words are your siren song, check out these projects newly launched on Haystakt – be the first to adopt the original and support your fellow digital nomads.
1. JUMP Cable
Hands up, those who own a charging cable, a power bank, and a battery jacket! Despite their ability to prevent phones dying during important phone calls, handling all those tangled cords, coupled with the weight of these accessories, can be cumbersome. JUMP is a crazy combination of battery, cable and intelligent technology that condenses all three external accessories into one 50mm x 50 mm x 13.6mm little gizmo, and is ingeniously designed such that it’s charged automatically when you are charging your phone. Yes, there is no need to find two power sockets or fiddle with a bag full of phone accessories anymore. We’re sold.
2. MATOA Wooden Watches
Not a fan of Android Play watches and seeking something different from the classics? The MATOA watches are handcrafted from natural wood to suit the urban dweller, combining the human touch with technological machinery in exquisite craftsmanship. There are a few variations of wood that carry different feels and textures, but what remains the same is the quality and attention paid to every watch, from sourcing each part to the packaging and finishing phases. This makes us excited about works from Indonesia!
3. Kickflip
The best designs are subtle and sleek but have impressive functions that belittle its appearance, and Kickflip is one of them. When not in use, it’s barely perceptible as as a thin layer at the bottom of your laptop. To enjoy the comfort of working from an elevated position, all it takes is a flip. Even then, it remains almost invisible. This invention makes laptop stands almost laughable, we think.
4. The Urban Slim
Just when we thought wallets couldn’t get any slimmer and smaller, the Urban Slim comes along to prove us wrong. Smaller than an iPhone in classic, it comes in black with a bold colour band (choose from red, blue, yellow, creme, and black), you can even slot this wallet into your shirt pocket without looking bulky.
