These surfaces promise to deliver stylish aesthetics with premium functionality.

It features sleek and minimal white rings, which indicate clearly where the charging zones are. The technology pushes into new levels which is able to power up to three devices at the same time with 15 watts each. The system is able to support a range of devices including phones and earbuds. Notably, it is designed for clear surfaces and can be integrated into kitchen, home, and bathroom surfaces.
