MagPower Tables Provide Power Without Needing to be Plugged In

Designed by Carl Magnusson for Nienkämper

These MagPower Tables were designed by Carl Magnusson. The legs feature one USB-A and two USB-C ports.

You may be wondering where the power comes from. In Magnusson's sketch, we can see where the power cord would be plugged into the back of the leg:

However, there's also an option to install a wireless rechargeable battery.

An office manager or intern would presumably be responsible for gathering the batteries and charging them up overnight, using one of these:

Frustratingly, there are no images or video of exactly where and how the batteries are installed. (Is it just me, or is the visual presentation above, with the blue circles, a bit confusing?)

The MagPower Tables are in production by furniture manufacturer Nienkämper.
