Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The HAAASE 'LIESMA' Bookshelf Doubles as a Wireless Charger

— April 9, 2022 — Art & Design
The HAAASE 'LIESMA' bookshelf is a dual-purpose piece of decor for the home or office focused on providing readers with a dedicated place to position their book between reading sessions and more.

The unit works first and foremost as an elegant spot to position a book when not being read and will hold it at the right page to eliminate the need for conventional bookmarks. The base of the unit will reveal wireless charging functionality when a compatible device is positioned into place, which will deliver up to 15W of power with an 80% efficiency rate.

The HAAASE 'LIESMA' bookshelf is constructed using birch plywood and linoleum, and reveals its various layers along the edges to provide greater visual intrigue. The decor piece is made in Germany.
