Stockholm - Global furniture giant Ikea announced on Sunday the launch of desks, tables and lamps that will wirelessly charge phones and other devices.
The new collection will use Qi wireless technology to charge devices that are placed on or near the furniture.
Ikea's business area manager of lighting and wireless charging, Jeanette Skjelmose, said: "Through research and home visits we know that people hate cable mess. They worry about not finding the charger and running out of power.
