Leaning your iPhone or iPad against a running faucet is probably one of the last things you’d want to do, which is why this Elecom stand created by Japanese design firm Nendo may seem somewhat odd.
The “Jaguchi” (Japanese for “tap”) stand can hold just about any tablet or smartphone, making it look like your device is resting on a faucet with a frozen stream of water rippling out of it.
Elecom (in Japanese) says you can either lean your device against the virtually flowing faucet, or place this decorative sculpture against a wall for an even more-perplexing illusion when you’re using your tablet or smartphone.
Nendo‘s stands are shown in four colors and two sizes, but the Elecom site lists their price as “open.” Let’s hope the company imports these to the U.S., pronto.
