POWER COASTERS: Portable Wireless Chargers for the Home
These wireless chargers explore what socializing around and interaction with our phones look like within the home. Its home recharging base holds four portable power banks for multiple family members or friends and is designed to have a visible presence, so that people can quickly take and charge their device from anywhere within the home. Without being confined to charging near an outlet, users can maintain easy access to their phone while relaxing on the couch, cooking in the kitchen, or playing games at the coffee table. The recharging base has handles that suggest and allow users to pick it up and extend hospitality to their guests. Instead of guests asking, "Do you have a charger I can borrow?", hosts can easily offer, "Would you like charger for your device?"
