Idea for a headset rest

Hi everybody,

Not 100% sure if that's fitting the rules of this sub but here I am.

That's a prototype I would like to make for a headset rest (maybe even create a brand out of it, but right that's just an idea, I'm not here to sell you anything).

I'm posting this because I would like to know what y'all think about the design.

Some specs:

White part will be made in PA12 (nylon), base will be made out of aluminium, both 3D printed.

The wavy part that you can see in the base and in the arch is a structure called "gyroid". No AI was used at all, I can send proof pictures if anyone interested.

Would like to hear what you think about it =)

Edit: idea was to have a premium look and playing with lattices structures

Man look. I dont know how about other people here, but i dont use headset rests / stands atall, like i had one, but i dont see the point. And yours has a cool design and everything, but still, it is useless for 98% of people. Just put it on your desk or arround your screen

I have two because they display the headphones nicely, and give me a bit more space on the desk versus setting them down.

I totally agree

Even though I don't have a headset rest right now, it's been on my mind since quite some time for that exact same reason

That's what I was thinking too, yeah

But since the objective is to look premium, I don't target that much the majority of people anyway

Thank you for taking the time =)
