Pros:
As a rule, Western manufacturers surprise gadget lovers with new technical innovations. But this time they decided to please us Russian developers. They presented a table that has no analogues. Manufacturers have turned this seemingly ordinary item found in every home into an amazing smart device that makes the pastime of cyberspace lovers truly comfortable.
Tabula Sense is a new generation of designer furniture. Moscow developers offer customers not just household items, but real gadgets. One of the latest developments of Tabula Sense is a smart table with a lot of different “chips”. It has built-in wireless Bluetooth speakers, USB ports, an iPad stand, wireless smartphone charging, and even a mug warmer. The absence of endless wires will allow you to do what you love with comfort and good mood.
The size of the tabletop is 146 x 75.5 cm, thickness - 3.9 cm. It is made of plywood coated with natural veneer. To protect the surface from scratches, it was treated with Osmo tinting oil. The end of the table is finished with anodized aluminum.
When purchasing a miracle table, you can separately order adjustable legs for yourself. They allow you to fix the tabletop in the most convenient position and at the desired angle. You can immediately configure the table to the required parameters. This option will be appreciated by those who spend several hours at the computer. The back will definitely say “thank you” to different positions.
On the right side of the table there are USB connectors. You can conveniently place your tablet on the surface itself.
There was also room on the tabletop for built-in Bluetooth speakers. Their combined volume reaches a power of 10 watts. The connection is the same as for conventional wireless speakers. If water gets into the holes, it will not cause any harm to the speakers.
In addition to a variety of stands for your favorite gadgets, on the left side of the table there is a wireless charger for your smartphone. You just need to place the device in a special place and it will start charging.
IKEA Russia is launching a collection of furniture with built-in wireless charging for mobile devices. New home furnishing solutions that transform bedside tables, lamps and tables into charging spots for smartphones and tablets will be available in IKEA stores from 1 February.
Mobile phones are an integral part of our lives. Even at home we almost never part with them. That is why it is so important that the process of recharging them is as easy and unnoticeable as possible. Now any place in the house can become a place for convenient charging of smartphones and tablets. The new collection of IKEA wireless chargers are multifunctional pieces of furniture and accessories with a simple but interesting design that will fit into any interior. They are all very easy to use: just place your smartphone on the plus icon and it will instantly start charging. No more unnecessary wires.
Special stands and small charging devices will help you quickly charge your phone, as well as other devices: they can be easily connected via USB outputs, which other items from the new collection also have. Are you expecting guests? With slender stands there is enough space for recharging for everyone. Soft diffused light or spot lighting - whatever your choice - with lamps and floor lamps equipped with wireless charging, you can comfortably carry out household chores while easily charging your phone. Place a white nightstand in the bedroom and living room - it will become an additional place for convenient storage of things and discreet charging.

“By turning furniture into wireless chargers, we are simplifying the charging process, making it more convenient and easier. We give you the opportunity to choose the place in the house where you want to charge your phone. At the same time, we make the interior more attractive by minimizing the use of cables. Nobody likes wires, although everyone wants their home to be fully functional. With wireless chargers you can achieve both,” Björn Block, IKEA product range manager for lighting and wireless chargers.
To improve life at home, IKEA uses innovative solutions that the company is developing as part of the Smart Home project. And the IKEA collection with built-in wireless chargers is part of this long-term project. To meet the need for people looking for more options to charge their devices at home or in their offices, designers used new, yet affordable technology. Its work is based on the use of the global Qi certification standard, which offers independent certification services for wireless charging products. Designer David Wahl co-created the collection, which turns bedside tables, floor and table lamps and tables into charging stations.

“We've created smart wireless solutions so you don't need wires anymore. Our new furniture allows you to charge multiple devices at the same time, maintaining all the beauty of your home without wires,” said David Wahl.
Tables, bedside tables and lamps were chosen as objects for placing wireless chargers. To start charging, you just need to place your mobile device in the place marked with the plus sign. The most inexpensive bedside table with wireless charging will cost 4.5 thousand rubles.
However, IKEA also offers the purchase of separate charging stands that can be placed anywhere. They are equipped with a USB output, which allows you to connect additional gadgets. The cost of such a stand starts from 2.9 thousand rubles.

Many modern smartphones and a number of tablets support the wireless charging standard (Qi), but sometimes this feature must first be activated in the device settings. For phones that do not support wireless charging, IKEA offers to purchase its own special case that will help you take advantage of this function.
They are increasingly filling the market. For many users, cables pose a problem because they tend to get tangled, lost, or worse, broken. The solution is simple and very attractive, which we will talk about right now.
What is wireless charging? This is a device that allows you to replenish your battery balance without any fuss. But how does this device work, and how is it better than the regular household cable that comes with your smartphone?
It’s worth warning right away: each manufacturer of docking stations has its own “tricks”. All the nuances should be clarified on the shore, immediately before purchasing. Check in advance whether your phone is ready to receive wireless battery services right away. Otherwise, you might mistake the phone’s inability to innovate as a malfunction.
How does wireless phone charging work?
Only the lazy don’t yet know that the seventh iPhone now has wireless headphones. This was to be expected already during the first attempts to launch Wi-Fi, which seemed to ordinary people to be something like a space dish (we remember what was said about the growth in statistics on oncology and rare diseases).
Time has passed, Wi-Fi is no longer a luxury. The same thing awaits us with built-in wireless chargers for phones. But let's take things in order.
If we go deeper into history, wireless mice were far from the first items of existence in the “cable-free” computer world. His Majesty Nikola Tesla himself launched this flash mob at the beginning of the 20th century, when he experimented with transmitting electricity without wires. If this last name means anything to you, and you didn’t waste your time during physics at school, then you should understand how wireless charging works.
Electromagnetic induction is achieved by passing current through a conductor, thereby creating the same field around it. So, precisely at the moment when another conductor enters this EM field, the same nutrient current arises in the latter due to the influence of the first. Here you also need to correctly use the functional features of the inductors, as well as their possible configurations.
How does wireless charging work?
and how can it be positioned in space?
Built-in wireless chargers for phones are nothing more than a typical docking station, inside of which there is a spool that looks like a skein of wire thread. The same coil, only in a more neat and mini format, is inside every modern smartphone (or almost everyone). If you put the phone on the station, the coils begin to work (remember the EM field described above), and energy is transferred from one device to another. This is how you can explain in the most basic way how charging works without using a USB cable. But that's not all.
Each manufacturer wants to stand out and become a leader in this market, since it is not yet very crowded with competitors. Therefore, before you buy a wireless charger for your phone, you should carefully study the configurations of both the smartphone and the docking station itself. It is imperative that there is a coincidence of understanding (support) of a single technology in which the devices will operate.
For example, the pioneer in this area of providing goods/services was Palm. Yes, it was a breakthrough, but it was available to too narrow a circle of users. In 2008, the world became acquainted with the Qi standard (or Qi - “energy” in Chinese), which was proposed by the manufacturer Wireless. With new companies producing similar products, the competitive landscape gave birth to a variety of formats designed to satisfy the needs of even the rarest smartphones. But until now, most phones already have enough Qi alone.
“Built-in wireless chargers for phones” – just from the name it becomes clear that it can be implemented somewhere. If earlier we saw wireless platforms that were pre-charged from an outlet and then could be taken on the road or on a hike, today there are different creative options. For example, such newfangled platforms are used to the maximum in the built-in Smart Home technology, where applause turns on the lights in the room, or the sound of acoustics from eye movements. So, if you attach the docking station to the back of the vanity countertop, then simply placing your phone on top overnight will allow you to charge it for the entire next day.
4 + 1 secrets of wireless charging
The secret here lies on the surface in the literal sense of the word: one docking station can charge 5 gadgets simultaneously, without losing the speed of replenishing the battery of each of them. Such devices can be purchased online right now. A striking example is Zendure charging.
Outwardly, such a thing resembles a small modem or just a box for fishing accessories, which takes up minimal space and weighs nothing. This charger comes with an adapter for a Euro socket and a regular cable for recharging it.
Then everything is just like in a fairy tale. You have the opportunity to connect 4 gadgets simultaneously to this unit, and place another one, for example a phone, on top of the docking station and safely charge it wirelessly. By the way, it will never fall, even if all this replenishment of energy reserves occurs on the road, because the Zendure surface is rubberized and will not allow the phone to slip.
It is very convenient that different connectors of such a station provide different current powers: two 1A each, two 2A each. This is very important when you need to charge your tablet and fitness bracelet at once. And the best part about this whole wonderful fairy tale is that inside Zendure there is a pressure stabilizer that will not allow your tears to fall due to a sudden surge in voltage, and the harmful consequences of this misfortune for the equipment.
Indeed, it is increasingly difficult for a family in which everyone has their own smartphone, tablet computer, e-reader, smart watch and iPod to do without such a contraption. Queues to the power outlet will no longer amuse you and force you to exhibit hazing. Peace in the family - 4+1 exercise.
Miracles of installation or how to order wireless charging installation
Wireless charging can be installed:
— on your smartphone, which does not yet support this function;
- at home in the furniture directly to the docking station.
What kind of service do you need right now is question ten. The fact that both actions are interesting for those who want to stop being tied to cables is a momentary question.
So, your favorite phone doesn't have the ability to magically charge. This can easily be corrected by ordering a specialist to install such a function inside the phone using a special plate. This is perfect for those who have mobile phones that have a removable back cover. But this is not given to everyone. Stop. We don't cry. Wise IT specialists have come up with special cases for their favorite gadgets, which have these same mini-plates built into them. They have a chip already installed, which will be responsible for wireless charging. Isn't that cool?
Built-in wireless chargers for phones that look like small platforms for screwing onto furniture are a separate topic. For some reason, many owners prefer to hide them, although the design of the docking station itself can decorate any interior. But, for convenience, you can mount this platform into the top of a desktop, cabinet, chest of drawers, or even an armrest in a car. The main thing is to clearly understand where you most often have to recharge, and how to arrange it more conveniently.
Again, I don’t recommend doing either the first or the second requirement yourself on the advice of YouTube bloggers. After all, we are dealing with highly intelligent technology, which is subtle and finicky. To properly configure the built-in charging and correctly connect those same plates, consult a specialist, or even better, entrust him with this honorable mission.
Today, technical potential is developing at an exponential rate. Some computer companies, anticipating requests, are already building wireless chargers for phones or other connected gadgets into computers. For example, in a monitor stand, or in a place where there have always been speakers on the laptop. This greatly simplifies the user’s life and makes working with gadgets as comfortable as possible. Therefore, before making your order, look at the offers of partners on Wheelingstore; it is quite possible that you will want to buy all-in-one.
