With smartphones, e-readers, tablets and other devices a natural part of modern-daily life, it’s time the process of charging these gadgets blended more seamlessly into the space around us.
That’s why Ikea is offering its new line of wireless charging furniture in stores and online, with a promise to eliminate the need for awkward cables that often have to stretch in order to reach the nearest outlet. The Home Smart collection includes side tables and lamps (boasting the brand’s usual assortment of quirky Swedish names, Varv, Riggad, Nordli and Selje), each with a nifty little "plus sign" loaded with the latest in electromagnetic wireless charging technology, called Qi. Just place your compatible phone on the spot, and watch your battery fill to overflowing.
Smart, huh? —Noa Nichol
