IKEA interiors are usually based on simple lines in bright colors. This makes the room look bright and clean. However, cables for charging smartphones and other devices tend to clutter up a room by themselves. The cables are often black in color, which is not very fashionable.
The IKEA furniture series announced this time is an interior design to banish charging cables from a room. The "+" mark is on the base of lamps and other items, and Qi-enabled smartphones and other devices can be charged by placing them on the "+" mark.
In addition to the living room, there are interiors for a variety of rooms. These can be installed in a workroom or bedroom to charge while working or sleeping.
The benefit of using these interiors is that you won't forget where you put your smartphone or have to look everywhere to find a cable to charge it.
IKEA has also introduced a charging station designed to match existing interiors, with USB ports to charge devices that are not "Qi" compatible.
The "Okudake Charging" compatible interior will be available in Europe and North America on April 15, with other regions to follow. The sales launch date in Japan has not yet been announced.
