A single machined aluminium object that quietly transitions between a folded power bank, an upright Qi2 stand, and a docked USB‑C charger — carrying 5000 mAh through every state.
Closed, Orbit Fold is an 18 mm aluminium slab — flat enough for a passport sleeve, dense enough to feel intentional.
Open the hinge and the Qi2 face rises to a fixed 68° viewing angle, magnetically aligning the phone in a single motion.
A spring‑loaded connector glides 12 mm out of the lip — turning Orbit Fold into a wired dock for tablets, earbuds, or a second phone.
The body is milled from a single aluminium billet, then folded along a concealed hinge axis. There is no visible seam between the base and the upright — only a single, soft radius wrapping the entire form.
Design notes →Press the front lip and a USB‑C tip rises out of the body on a damped spring. Push it back and the surface returns flush — no cable, no cap, no afterthought.
How it works →Six precision components, balanced for thermals, weight distribution and structural rigidity.
“We wanted an object that solves the desk and the bag without asking the user to choose between them.” — Studio note, OF‑01
Orbit Fold began as a sketch of a single sheet of aluminium folded twice. Five prototypes later, the hinge geometry, dock travel, and thermal envelope converged into a single object you can carry without thinking about it.
