Soutěže

Riggard work lamp with wireless charging was announced a winner at iF Design Award ceremony in Münich. iF is one of the world’s leading design awards and RIGGAD was honoured with an iF label in category Lighting.

 

Consumer studies show that many people see charging their mobile phone as a negative must-do. That is why IKEA developed Riggard, a lamp that charges your phone while you work. The ambition was to both reduce people’s stress of running out of battery, and the amount of cables on their desks.

 

Equipped with an adjustable arm and head, Riggard offers focused lighting. The work lamp has a charger puck hidden inside the lamp base. When placing a phone on the base of the lamp, the lamp starts charging it.

 

The iF Design Award is one of the world’s most prestigious design awards.This years iF jury assessed more than 5,000 entries by over 2,400 participants from 53 countries. Riggard work lamp with wireless charging received an iF label in category Lighting.

 

Riggard work lamp is one of the products in the new wireless charging collection by IKEA. The products in the collection use Qi certified technology, a third party global interface standard for inductive electrical power. Most mobile manufacturers work with this standard today and produce Qi enabled devices. Phones that are not Qi enabled can also be charged when used with the wireless charging cover, Vitahult.
