(Steve/a>) Rummaging through drawers to find the right power cord for your smartphone, tablet and other electronic devices can be a frustrating task. Soon, though, you might be able to juice up your device simply by placing it on the IKEA bookshelf, desk or nightstand littering your home. Mashable reports that the Swedish furniture company will incorporate technology into several product offerings to allow consumers to charge their devices by placing it on the “X.” The technology, called Qi, is already available in many public locations, including some Starbucks stores. Although the new technology will eliminate much of the cord clutter we’ve all become accustomed to, IKEA says the furniture will still need a power source to facilitate the energy transfer. In addition to offering the new furniture with built-in stations, IKEA will also sell wireless charging kits that can fit into existing furniture. The new technologically advanced furniture doesn’t appear to break the bank, with pieces averaging about $22 more than typical IKEA pieces.
