[Nokia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-infinity-pro) has joined forces with Fatboy to create a wireless smartphone charging DT-901 Recharge Pillow for the new Lumia 920. This simple and easy to use docking system is intended to restore your Windows Phone 8 phone's battery just by placing it on top of the pillow.

The rechargeable pillows use a Qi platform to charge its devices, which means that the pillow will be compatible with other systems that use Qi programming. Nokia has also partnered with companies like [Virgin Atlantic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virgin-atlantic-app-in-chatgpt), Tea Leaf and Coffee Bean with the hopes of incorporating the DT-901 recharge pillow into cafe tables and Virgin lounges.

Fatboy is best known for its large colorful lounge pillows and this partnership is a great step forward in developing more [wireless charging devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-accessories) for our electronics.
