Indeed the spirit of Nikola Tesla would be pleased to see the new furniture of IKEA. Tesla was the one who gave the concept of transferring the electrical energy through the air using electromagnetic waves. Now, IKEA has come up with actual furniture that can charge your mobile devices wirelessly. There are two IKEA products of such kind: first one is the Nordmark triple charging pad while the second one is the Riggadwork lamp. In order to charge your devices you only need to place your mobile on the plus sign and voila the charging starts.
There are some refinements that need to be worked out in this product. For example, currently this system only works with the mobile phones that have Qi wireless charging interface. Otherwise, you need to use a bulky case for your mobile phone. Furthermore, currently the orientation needs to be properly aligned with the + sign but this condition has to be less severe for a “true” wireless charging device. It looks that it will take a while when the wireless charging from science fiction will become a part of our daily lives.
