Swedish furniture maker Ikea makes a surprise Mobile World Congress 2015 appearance, where it launches a portfolio of bedside tables, lamps and desks featuring built-in Qi wireless charging.

Designed by David Wahl, the furniture promises to eliminate cable clutter by charging any smartphone with Qi wireless charging support. In addition the company also offers a standalone Qi chargers customers can integrate into current (Ikea, obviously) furniture with a spot of drilling.

"Our belief is that mobile phones are vital parts to people's lives at home and their desire to stay connected, and Qi addresses an unmet need to keep devices powered," Ikea says. "As a member of the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), we value the access to the leading and most advanced global standard for wireless charging."

The Qi-enabled Ikea furniture should be available in Europe from April 2015.
