Ikea launches furniture that charges smartphones... placed on it

IKEA is getting a little more into the smart home! The Swedish giant has just announced a new range of Ikea furniture, marketed in Europe and North America from April 2015.

His particuliarity ? Charging devices…via wireless chargers. Simply by putting them on the furniture. Be careful, we warn you:not all devices can be charged on it, only those compatible with Qi wireless charging technology (such as the latest Nokia Lumia and the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge). So no need to put anything on it that comes to hand, like the rowing remote control or your tired face!

Soon in France

From mid-April, from £30 (41 euros), you can therefore buy lamps, tables and accessories to put in your rooms so that you don't have to run out of mobile anymore. No more headaches trying to find multiple (electrical) sockets!

While waiting for the release in France, you can still shop online!
