A bamboo stand with a five-port USB block housed underneath and upright slots for phones and tablets above. The leads travel up through the frame, so only the plug ends are visible. Separate rests hold a watch and a pair of earbuds.

Most homes now charge more devices than they have sockets, and the overflow ends up as a tangle on a worktop. Enclosing the block keeps the mess out of view without giving up any of the power. Bamboo lets the whole thing live in a living room rather than a cupboard.
Everything charged, everything together, nothing trailing across the counter.

Seat the block in the base and feed each lead up its own channel before you set a device on top. Give the shortest leads to the nearest slots so there is no slack left to coil. The frame runs about 27 x 14 x 13 cm, which suits a kitchen worktop or a desk edge.
Give the household's cables a single address.
