Why every everyday object deserves thoughtful design
Most smartphone stands are designed for one purpose: to hold a phone. At Urband London, we asked a different question - what if an everyday object could also become something beautiful? Our collection of handcrafted double-sided designer smartphone stands combines original artwork with practical design, creating pieces that add personality to your desk, home office or living space while remaining perfectly functional.
More than a smartphone stand. A piece of art for your everyday.
We all have a smartphone.
Most of us also have a smartphone stand.
But why should something we look at every day be purely functional?
At Urband London, we believe that the objects we surround ourselves with should bring inspiration, colour and creativity into our lives. They should make us smile every time we see them.
That's why we created our new collection of handcrafted double-sided smartphone stands.
Every stand begins as original artwork inspired by art, architecture, photography and travel before being handcrafted onto stainless steel in our London studio. Rather than hiding in the background, each stand is designed to become part of your environment – adding personality to your desk, home office, studio or bedside table.
And because every smartphone stand is double-sided, you can simply turn it around whenever you fancy a different look.
It's not just somewhere to place your phone.
It's a small piece of contemporary designer art that just happens to hold your phone too.
Looking for something even more personal? You can also create your own stand using your favourite photograph, company logo or artwork, transforming a special memory into a unique design you'll enjoy every day.
Urband London doesn't simply create accessories - it transform original artwork into a beautiful everyday objects.
Whether you're working, relaxing or simply taking a moment for yourself, we hope our stands add a little more creativity to the places where life happens.
