\u201cRecharged\u201d is a novel kind of seating: up to three people can sit and recharge their smartphones \u2013 without cables or plugs. The colourful cushion is ideal for sitting and relaxing, while the round HIMACS platform at the centre of this design furniture offers the opportunity to recharge the batteries of mobile devices, within three areas marked by circles. <\/p>\n
\tIn cooperation with the furniture manufacturer Royal Ahrend, Dutch designer Basten Leijh has created design furniture that unites comfort and state-of-the-art technology and is especially suited for lounges and waiting rooms. The solid surface material HIMACS proves once again that pleasing optics and soft haptics can co-exist with high-tech properties. Cushioning and fabric are combined in a unique way with the resistant natural acrylic stone, which is non-porous and resistant to stains or scratches. <\/p>\n
\tWireless battery charging takes place via the latest induction technology. The Dutch company ZENS has made significant developments in this field. Through the company\u2019s pioneering work, this technology can now be used for all types of technological devices, in any kind of environment. While previous wireless charging stations were clearly recognisable, the technology from ZENS in \u201cRecharged\u201d remains invisible seamlessly melding in the seat's solid surface material. <\/p>\n
\tErik Plasmans, CEO of ZENS, was particularly enthused by the perfect conductivity of HIMACS: \u201cTests have revealed that our charging station functions especially well in combination with HIMACS. The material creates an ideal connection between the sender and a receiver like a mobile phone.\u201d As the charging station is firmly integrated in the smooth acrylic stone, it is not susceptible to water, scratches or other signs of wear, and can therefore act as a constant and safe energy source while not distracting from the object\u2019s design. Individual points of light or coloured highlights can be set on the charging station as desired. <\/p>\n
\tThe \u201cRecharged\u201d seat not only supplies energy, it also emits it from below \u2013 in the form of red light, giving a pleasant atmosphere to the entire room, making them immediately obvious. It provides the ideal place for sitting and waiting, whether in a hotel, at the airport, at the office or in a doctor\u2019s waiting room. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"template":"","projects_category":[1165],"projects_line":[1146],"class_list":["post-7077","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","projects_category-himacs","projects_line-himacs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
