you’ve got a desk full of cluttered cables all waiting to charge your assorted mobile devices then you need to look at a tidier solution. BlueLounge Refresh is undeniably tidy, although does come quite a price for what it does.

The concept behind Refresh is simple – it is essentially a small box containing half a dozen cables and connectors, with a rubberised tray sat on top. Just sit your devices on the tray and plug in the connectors and you have a clutter-free method of charging multiple mobile gadgets simultaneously.

The connectors include a couple for iPhone and iPod, plus mini and micro USB (the latter is set to become the standard connector for mobile phones) and a couple of female USB ports that you can use to attach any additional proprietary connectors as well.

It’s a smart solution, very much in line with what we have come to expect of iPhone accessories where design is very much to the fore, and even comes in three different colours (white, black and pink).

Refresh is suitable for office or home and the compact size of the unit, which measures 241 x 142 x 45mm, makes it a good fit on most desks.

The only concern is that price tag. It’s a nice piece of kit, for sure, but it is hard to see exactly where the money is going in a product that is useful but not exactly groundbreaking in its function.

Price: £75
