The conceptual 'Smart Bedside Table' by Foshan Shunde Midea is a tech-packed take on the humble bedroom furniture piece that aims to combine multiple products into one for greater efficiency. The bedside table functions as an air purifier and humidifier to optimize the air within a bedroom, while also featuring a hidden wireless charger built into the top surface. The rear section of the unit can be opened to reveal a low-temperature storage section for placing a few drinks.
The conceptual 'Smart Bedside Table' is rounded out with a dedicated UV sterilization compartment for cleaning mobile devices and/or jewelry between uses. A USB hub is built into the system to maximize charging, while lighting and an aroma diffuser further enhance the user experience.
