# Tech-Charging Furniture The Philippe Starck My World Couch Accommodates Technology By Jordy E | Published 2013-04-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philippe-starck-my-world References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/Philippe-Starck) & [dailytonic](http://www.dailytonic.com/myworld-lounge-system-by-philippe-starck-for-cassina-it/) The [Philippe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-lite-chair) Starck My World couch has been designed in the interest of the modern resident. Present within this Starck piece are power outlets and an easily accessible Powermat charging tool, enabling it to host and power up one's digital products. The name My World is fitting with the many ends that this furniture set serves. The [Salone del Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-collection) will soon launch the set, after which point it will be made available on the [Cassina](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volage-exs-slim) site. Modular sections can be furthermore manipulated into any size deemed desirable by owners, making it a reasonable investment for those living in cramped or large spaces. And for the minimalist enthusiast, a drawer will also hide any wires. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Integrated Technology Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create pieces that seamlessly integrate technology, such as power outlets and wireless charging tools. - **Modular Furniture Solutions:** Potential for furniture companies to design modular furniture that can be easily adjusted and customized to fit different spaces and needs. - **Wireless Charging Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to develop improved wireless charging solutions for furniture, making it more convenient for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate technology features and modular designs into their product lines. - **Home Decor:** Potential for home decor brands to offer integrated technology furniture as a stylish and functional solution for modern homes. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for consumer electronics companies to collaborate with furniture manufacturers and develop wireless charging solutions for furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Furniture-Embedded Discreet Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discreet-charging-station.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulala-home-elitenest.md) - [All-in-One Modular Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezy-sofa.md) - [Versatile Modular Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformer-couch-20.md) - [Integrated Charging Hub Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magpower-tables.md) - [Connected Multifunctional Nightstands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-sleep-nightstand.md) - [Tech-Rich Bedside Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiinteriors-histand.md) - [Tech-Packed Bedroom Nightstands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bedside-table.md) - [Tech-Infused Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wits-furniture-collection.md)
