Your phone is probably dying right now and the charger is somewhere you do not want to get up and find.
The Ebörd table fixes that problem at the furniture level. The entire surface of this table is a wireless charger powered by the sun. You put your phone anywhere on it and it starts charging. No cable. No pad. No plug in the wall.
It just works like a table that happens to also be a solar-powered charging station.
What is the Ebörd and where did it come from?
Ebörd was created by Proton New Energy Future, a startup based in Barcelona, Spain. The goal was simple: build a piece of furniture that looks completely normal but secretly solves one of the most annoying everyday problems in modern life, keeping all your devices charged without the mess of cables and chargers everywhere.
The table has a dark glass top and a clean metal frame. It looks like something you would find in a modern apartment or office. Nothing about the outside gives away what it can do.
Under that glass surface is where it gets interesting.
How the wireless charging actually works?
Most furniture with built-in wireless charging uses one or two coils. That means you have to place your phone in a very specific spot or it will not charge. One small miss and nothing happens.
Ebörd packs in more than 50 coils, letting users charge up to four devices anywhere on the top. It does not matter where you set your phone down on the surface. Any spot on the table works.
It makes use of the Qi charging platform, making it compatible with the latest iPhones and Samsung Galaxies while also providing support for Google Pixel devices. Sony, Nokia, LG and other Qi-compatible phones work too. Wireless earbuds, smartwatches and tablets that support Qi can all charge on the surface at the same time.
For devices that do not have Qi built in the table also comes with two adapters so nothing gets left out.
No wall plug required. Here is why.
This is the part that makes Ebörd genuinely different from any other wireless charging furniture out there.
The table’s surface is photovoltaic with a thin film panel that allows it to soak up sunlight and store it in a 10 Ah battery. The stored energy is what powers the wireless charging. You never have to plug the table into a wall socket.
Proton New Energy Future also claims a patent for a membrane developed using a protein from marine bacteria which enhances the performance of the solar modules by 60 percent in low-light conditions. This means the table keeps collecting energy even when it is sitting in a room with normal indoor lighting rather than direct sunlight.
The charging power per coil is 5 watts which matches what a standard wireless charger delivers for most smartphones.
The table dimensions and what it looks like
The tabletop measures 700 by 550 mm and the legs stand 533 mm tall. The weight of the table is 9 kg. The legs come in silver, black or chrome so it fits into most home or office setups without looking out of place.
The design aesthetic is minimal and Scandinavian in feel. Clean lines, dark glass surface and slim metal legs. Nobody looking at it would guess it contains 50 charging coils and a solar energy system.
Waterproof means you can actually use it as a table
One concern people have with any technology built into furniture is what happens when something spills.
Ebörd is tested for liquids or other products that may fall on the table. You can rest a drink on it, wipe it down and use it like any regular table without worrying about water damage to the charging system underneath.
This makes it practical as a coffee table, side table or desk rather than something you treat like a delicate piece of tech.
Two premium versions with extra features
The standard Ebörd handles solar charging and wireless power for up to four devices. But two upgraded versions take it further.
One premium model comes equipped with a high-efficiency LED lighting system for moments of rest or reading. The other premium version adds a Bluetooth surround sound speaker system built directly into the table.
So depending on the model you choose you get a table that also charges your devices, lights the room and plays music. All from sunlight.
What devices can charge on the Ebörd
Here is a quick breakdown of what works on the Ebörd surface:
iPhones from recent generations all support Qi and charge without any adapter. Samsung Galaxy phones charge wirelessly as well. Google Pixel phones, Sony, Nokia, LG and most Android flagships from the last several years all work.
Wireless earbuds like AirPods with a wireless charging case charge too. Many smartwatches and Qi-compatible tablets also work on the surface.
For anything older or without Qi support the two included adapters handle the rest.
Why this matters more in 2026?
Cables and chargers have become a genuine source of clutter and frustration in homes and offices. Most people have four or five devices that need charging daily and keeping all of them powered requires a tangle of cables, adapters and power strips.
The Ebörd approach, embedding the charging into furniture itself and powering it with renewable energy, is where home tech is heading. Furniture that does something useful without announcing itself. Clean design, practical function, no extra footprint.
It is a table. It also happens to be a solar-powered wireless charging station that supports four devices at once and never needs a cable from the wall. That combination is hard to argue with.
