Twelve South is back at CES 2026 with something that feels less like a gadget and more like a carefully chosen piece of home decor. The company’s latest product, Valet, is a wireless charging tray where your everyday essentials land at the end of the day, quietly charging in the background while doubling as a leather art piece for your table.
Valet is a charging accessory you won’t want to hide
Valet blends soft Nappa leather with a weighted zinc alloy base in multiple colors. The outer frame is removable and can be swapped to match your changing aesthetic. Most of the surface is simply a tray for keys, sunglasses, wallets, and other pocket clutter.
On one side, there is a raised square podium, which is a Qi2-certified wireless charger that delivers up to 15W of power for most newer iPhones, AirPods cases, and similar gear. There is also a USB port on the side that lets you plug in a second device, also charging at up to 15W.
Cable management is hidden beneath the tray so cords don’t ruin the look, and Valet can be positioned in four different orientations. You can rotate it into portrait mode if you have a narrow surface, or flip it so the wireless charging pad sits where it works best.
Powering the whole setup is a 36W adapter, which Twelve South includes in the box along with a 1.5-meter cable.
A different kind of charger from Twelve South
Valet is not a laptop charger or a multi-device charging hub. In fact, it is intentionally less utilitarian than some of Twelve South’s earlier products, like the HiRise which can charge three devices at once or the ButterFly 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger.
Valet flips that priority. It is about making charging feel seamless by turning the act of dropping your phone on a table into something that just happens to top up the battery.
That design-first thinking fits neatly into a broader trend of gadgets at CES that try to hide their tech roots. Twelve South has long specialized in accessories that blend in with furniture rather than fighting for attention, and Valet may be its purest expression of that idea yet. At $180, it is clearly a premium accessory, but one aimed at people who want their charging setup to look intentional, not improvised.
