How Do You Think Furniture With Ports And Plugs To Connect You?

Do you want your desktop have a USB sicket for your charge your mobile when you work?

We’re a nation of multi-taskers, often keeping an eye on our phones or other devices even while lounging on the sofa watching television.

And those devices need power. Who wants to keep getting up to plug stuff in when you’re bingeing a great show, reading a good book or otherwise chilling?

Turns out, you don’t have to. Furniture makers are responding to our multi-tasking lifestyle with seating and surfaces featuring integrated sockets and USB ports. All you have to do is position your chair or table within range of a wall plug to keep the juice flowing, and then you can tap into the furniture’s usb socket.

On some pieces, the power access is in an armrest or base panel, while others have it built into the legs, side panels or drawers..

Another clever hiding spot: lamp bases. Lamps Plus has many options, including the Karla table lamp from 360 Lighting, with a sleek brass or polished-steel column. A pair of Ledger mercury-glass table lamps also come equipped with USB ports.

Or consider Ikea’s Varv floor lamp, with a sleek adjustable base that let you charge a phone just by resting it on the charging pad. There’s an additional USB port built into the lamp.

Room & Board has several smart-looking pieces for various rooms. A classic Parsons bed has ports and plugs on both sides of the headboard. The iron frame comes in a range of colors, including fun ones like red, green, pink, ocean and blue.

The Portica end table comes both standard and C-shaped, which can be useful for tight spaces. Choose your own top: glass, quartz or marble composite, or woods like walnut, maple, spalted sugarberry and ash.

Designers have tackled the clunky traditional recliner, coming up with some sleeker, more stylish versions. At Room & Board, find the Ellison, Dalton and Harper, which all come in a fine-grained leather and are available with USB ports.

The designers tackled both connectivity and comfort with a collection of comfy leather chairs and sofas that have charging plugs as well as adjustable backs, so you can turn each piece into a seat, a lounger or even a bed.
