Ikea’s new Qi charger is called Sjömärke. With it, compatible devices such as the smartphone can be charged. Unlike other Qi chargers, however, you do not put the mobile phone directly on the charging pad. Sjömärke is fixed under the tabletop. In order for a mobile phone to be charged, it should be enough to put the smartphone on the table at this point.
The table top should be made of wood or plastic, the charger is attached to the bottom of the table with screws or tape. In addition, the furniture manufacturer recommends a minimum distance of 8 millimeters, such as heise.de reported. According to Ikea, the table top must be a maximum of 22 millimeters thick for the charging pad to work properly.
