See What We Do, Not What We Say

Before the Nakupenda guitar stool, we paused the development of three products. 
They were good, but not good enough to meet Nakupenda’s standards.

iStand-iPad & Reading Duo Stand

Want to free your hands while reading and using an iPad? iStand combines two stands into one. 

However, the book clip component didn’t meet our standards, so we paused its development.

Our Challenge: Joy and Pride for You
