As it stands, cooking in the average household's kitchen doesn't happen without appliances that are attached to cords but the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) is offering a vision for the kitchen of the future with its Ki Cordless Kitchen. Notably, the WPC is the organization behind the development of the Qi wireless charging standard for smartphones and mobile devices, and this new kitchen standard has the potential to replace plugs and cables with kitchen surfaces.
The clutter-free kitchen boasts a sleek design that's appealing for spaces of all sizes and introduces two-way communication between appliances and power transmitters, which are compatible with all non-metal counter or tabletop materials. With the transmitters installed beneath tabletop surfaces and counters, the surfaces are easy-to-clean and more modern-looking than ever.
