About us


We are the best friends who love wood and got a passion for Apple products. 3 years before “Knarr age“ we opened and start running  woodshop. Our workshop, where we are enjoying our work is bassed in the Trencin.

„Knarr age“


















Knarr stand was born in our minds about six mounths ago as a result of unsuccesfull searching for Iphone 4 stand with key ring feature. After first leaked info about 4 inch screen of new Iphone 5 we made the first step - started designing wooden, portable stand for this new Iphone.

We had clear goals:



  • clean modern design
  • made from, top quality only
  • easy to clip on keys
  • thin enough to carry in pocket easy
  • luxury, natural, warm feeling























To develope this great iPhone 5 stand was a huge challenge for us. We made many prototypes to make sure that Knarr is working with new Iphone 5 perfectly. After months of endless work, hundreds of coffees during long nights... we have finaly reached Knarr, stand for iPhone.

Why is our name Knarr?


At the beginning of our start up were I and Michael thinking about one thing: 

How do we name our company? 


The name which is short and says to our customers that the great thing about our products is, that they are made from wood......



The word Knarr is Old Norese term, that was spoken by inhabitants of Scandinavia, durring the Viking Age until about 1300. Knarr is perfectly built wooden ship, which was used by the Vikings on their Atlantic trips for transporting goods. Ships type Knarr  were very successful, because all it took for their operation was a smaller crew. 

Our products are very similar to these ships, which were designed with a high emphasis on functionality, durability, reliability and ease of use. 

After reading and evaluation of all information about ships Knarr, we decided to name our brand Knarr. 

Just say Knarr, Knarr, Knarr. We love that double “rr” at the end of word Knarr. We believe that it sounds great :)

Stand for iPhone 5?


Why should I use stand for my iPhone?


Smartphones by Apple are amazing! No doubt about it. We love their design, simplicity, reliability, image etc. It is almost 5 years since the first iPhone generation was introduced. Hardly to believe in progress, which iphone at that time did. At first glance, the revolutionary design of the first generation has developed into almost ZEN design of iPhone 5, which is one of the most beautiful products in the world at all.

From any critical point of view at Iphone 5, it is very difficult to find weaknesses.

Since the first generation, iPhone has made a great leap in daily useability of this smart phone. Thanks to this compact device we can text, email, browse, make phone calls, play games, listen to music, read books, manage a business,  use an infinite number of clever application or watch films.

Video? I like it, but can I watch video on iPhone 5  handsfree?  

I am sure, that you have been in situation where you said: I need something that would suport my iPhone 5 in the correct angle to watch perfectly my favorite movie on iPhone,  and this without holding it it in my hands.  Any holder, support, just something...  to watch films comfortably.
Facetimming, skyping, reading, monitoring NFL, NHL or NBA scores handsfree. Is it possible?


Knarr studio has the solution.

Fortunately, we have spent last summer in development and testing unique holder for your iPhone 5 or iPhone 4/4S. 

  • We made it from the premium quality wood 
  • We gave it the design, which makes the others envious.
  • We gave it the ability to be with you all the time, you can put it on key ring.
  • We put it into the wonderful packaging. So you receive iPhone 5 stand by Knarr      undamaged and stylishly.
