Switch Plates Reinvented: Walhub by Upwell

San Francisco-based Upwell, led by designer Justin Porcano, launched its first product that aims to make your life just a little bit easier. The Walhub isn’t your average switch plate though, this one becomes a dedicated site for your essentials – keys, mail, or your umbrella – by having a spot right by your door.

You generally turn your lights off when you leave so your eyes automatically go to the light switch anyway, making it the perfect location for your important items.

It comes in two versions, the Hang (with two hooks) and the Keeper (with two hooks and a mail holder), and they’re also a variety of options depending on what type of light switches you have.
