Insight Magazine: Recharge

"Technology is a subject that not only has profound implications for the way we work but is also redefining our relationship with the way we design and interact with our surroundings.

As well as presenting designers with the challenge of visual privacy and acoustics, emerging technologies also present the opportunity to design for the use of third spaces, break out areas and public/private environments that people can move to with their mobile devices. The consumerisation of IT in the workplace is also a factor driving change, with the rise of BYOD (bring your own device) encouraging employees to use their personal technology within the workplace to improve productivity and satisfaction.

Wireless or induction charging is an emerging trend that is helping to connect people, technology and spaces, presenting unlimited possibilities for the future of business and communication. This technology, called Qi, enables users to charge devices at their desk, during a meeting, or in a cafe, without the need for using cables or hunting around for power sockets. 

The versatility and convenience of the Aircharge product range allow designers to create environments anywhere to ensure users of the space never have to worry about losing power again. Creating ‘charge venues’ anywhere from VIP suites, catering and break-out points, to media hubs and press offices is easy, providing the ultimate convenience in wireless device charging."
