A side table to charge your gadgets wirelessly

The wireless utopia we've all been patiently waiting for (while tripping over cords) is still nowhere to be seen, but it's not for lack of trying.

Designer Youmin Vincent Kim has come up with a wonderful interim solution with the Soak desk that leans up against, and plugs directly into a wall - allowing it to serve as a central spot for charging gadgets.

To eradicate cables altogether, the Soak is embedded with an inductive charger just below its maple surface so that you can simply place your compatible gadgets on it, and they'll start to power up.

But even adding a handful of surfacemounted USB ports, or a hidden compartment to plug in adapters, would still be more elegant, given the table's managed to shed the nest of power cables you'd usually find underneath.
