Android News: IKEA’s wireless charging embedded furniture now showing up in stores

IKEA announced earlier this year that they were planning on selling a wireless charging line of furniture. It’s definitely an odd concept, but if you’re invested in making all of your devices completely wireless, it’s arguably one of the most futuristic accessories you can buy for your smartphone.

The furniture in this lineup includes things like standing lamps and end tablets with a small wireless charging pad embedded right into the surface of the objects. You’ll obviously have to plug it into a wall socket, but after that simply dropping your wireless charging compatible phone on the pad should get things started. Having things integrated right into a table certainly keeps things looking clean, instead of running wires and ugly black pads across tabletops.

IKEA said the entire line of furniture was supposed to be available in store and online by the end of spring. It looks like the stuff is showing up in store, but from my quick searches I haven’t been able to place an order for anything online just yet.

If you’ve got an IKEA store in your area, you may want to go check it out.
