I’m not here to sell you the idea of laptop stands—see that story here—but if you’re going to drop a small fortune on an iOS device, it deserves a pedestal that complements its sculptural craftsmanship. Apple has surpassed 2.2 billion active devices as of February 2024, so odds are you own at least one. And if Apple made laptop stands, they would look like Rain Design’s.
Apple devices are known for their elegant simplicity, and Rain Design just gets it. All of its stands disappear behind the device that they’re meant to support and don’t drown your workplace in visual clutter. Most of its products hover between $25 and $65 (excluding the $319 iGo monitor stand) and have iOS-esque finishes—silver, gold, space gray, black, midnight blue, and starlight (that champagne hue)—and most are designed with a cable outlet.
Apple carries Twelve South stands, but I prefer Rain…
