Powerkiss

Powerkiss is a Finnish Startup which integrates power charging of your mobile phones and other gadgets into pieces of furniture with no requirement for cables. The future for this should be huge just put your laptop or mobile down on a table to charge it, you will no longer have to think about charging your devices, they will just power up when you put them down. Powerkiss are quite far down the road of integration as well, they have collaborated with Martela which is bringing to market a couple of tables later in 2009 with wireless charging integrated into them, as you can see from the  photo below it looks almost boringly normal except for the graphics on the top informing you how to use the table.

They are part of the design factory in Otaniemi and I found out about this company through the Arctic Startup website which is fast becoming a must read.
