– The original Valet debuted at CES earlier in the year.
Twelve South has unveiled a refreshed version of its leather Valet charging tray, this time engineered for more compact spaces. After debuting the original model at CES earlier this year, the company is now offering a smaller alternative that cuts the depth from 7.5 inches down to just 4.5 inches. While the first Valet could hold multiple items like a wallet and keys, this slimmer design is better suited for single objects, such as a pair of glasses.
Don’t let the reduced size fool you, though. The new Valet actually delivers a meaningful power upgrade. The original tray featured a wireless charger capped at 15W, but this smaller version steps up to 25W for faster charging. That said, there’s a trade-off: the larger Valet could charge two devices at once, whereas the new model focuses on a single device. Still, for anyone who needs a sleek, leather-clad charging station that fits on a nightstand, desk, or shelf without taking over, this iteration offers a compelling balance of efficiency and footprint.
