Most kitchen counters end up with a charging spot, usually a knot of cables running to whichever phone needs power. Fabuwood and FreePower plan to remove that spot entirely. Their upcoming InFocus Drawer, a kitchen wireless charging drawer, charges compatible devices wirelessly while the drawer stays shut.
From the outside, the hidden charging drawer gives little away. A wood-toned interior holds the charging hardware, and the front can match the surrounding cabinetry. A small circular medallion is the only visible marker.
Hidden storage works beyond the kitchen too, as a bamboo table with hidden clutter storage shows by keeping everyday mess out of sight.
FreePower supplies the wireless charging technology. Instead of a single pad, it uses an array of coils, so a phone does not have to sit on one exact spot. Devices can rest at different positions and angles within the active zone.
The system is rated to charge three Qi-enabled devices at once, at up to 15W each. On paper, that covers a pair of phones and an earbud case. The figure is a ceiling, though, not a guarantee that every device will draw full power.
The concept grows out of Fabuwood’s habit of collecting phones before meetings. Carried into the home, the same routine could suit mealtimes. People would place their devices in the drawer, close it, and let them charge out of sight.
What a kitchen wireless charging drawer demands
Installation is the larger commitment. The assembly fits compatible 18-inch Fabuwood cabinets and requires a standard electrical outlet. Buyers should raise it during kitchen layout planning, because “wireless” describes the link to the phone, not the power supply behind the drawer.
The drawer also takes up space that could hold utensils or other gear. FreePower cautions that bulky cases and metal objects can disrupt charging. Anything that blocks the coils or sits in the charging zone can slow or stop the process.
If you are weighing how a drawer would sit among your cabinetry, this Sleek Stripes storage with new veneers offers a useful look at how finishes help storage blend into a room.
Fabuwood plans commercial availability for November 16, 2026. No price has been announced for the drawer. Whether it earns a place in a kitchen will depend on that cost and on whether households actually keep their phones inside it.
