Shadowstand for iPhone and iPad

Very cute and fun. Made for iPad, iPhone or other similar sized devices this stand appears to cast a shadow as it holds your device inlace for easier viewing. It's always interesting to see the contrast between the coldness of devices like the iPhone and the warmth natural forms and materials. Despite being the best looking device available I always find myself drawn to accessories that add some kind of tactile or natural feeling; it's less of a concern with other handsets and tablets, though as great as they are on the inside the exterior always feels like a cheap plastic toy. Cheap plastic toys don't warrant much of an accessory market.

Shadowstand was developed by Japanese architecture firm and design studio Nendo for ELECOM.
