Qi wireless technology will power-up gadgets that are placed on the incorporated hotspots or nearby, ending the hassle of moving your chargers between rooms or having unsightly cables sticking out.

“Through research and home visits, we know that people hate cable mess. They worry about not finding the charger and running out of power. Our new innovative solutions, which integrate wireless charging into home furnishings, will make life at home simpler,” Jeanette Skjelmose, Ikea’s lighting and wireless charging business area manager, said.
