Take Daytripper anywhere with you; in your hand, in your pocket, in your bag, in your life. It's your everyday companion for when “life happens.”
The NOA team brings together a collective background in design, engineering, and product development to pioneer new possibilities in wireless technology. As a start-up, we’ve had to wear many hats along the way, which means there's never a dull moment in our day. We’re a small team that loves design, tinkering and collaborating with the right people to solve problems, no matter how big or small.
As the world becomes more wireless, power and connectivity are becoming a growing challenge, so we set out to see if we could find a solution to this.
We first looked at lifestyle behaviours and the current problems that exist with wireless charging today and here's what we found;
1. Form & design - in a market saturated with clutter, how we design is vital. We believe form and function go hand in hand. The use of materials and having an understanding of the making process is fundamental.
2. Wireless & portability - we move around a lot, so charging wirelessly and being portable matters.
3. Performance & universal compatibility - safe to say there are as many devices as there are people, so having a product that accommodates as many phone models and Qi-enabled devices is ideal.
What we noticed, at best, is that existing wireless chargers in the market embodied one or two of these elements, but not all three together. And rather than trying to build the biggest and cheapest charger out there, we directed our focus towards the concept of time; and more specifically, the power of one day.
How much power would people typically need in one day?
This became our starting point in developing Daytripper.
