IKEA launches three new Qi2.0 wireless phone chargers – including one with a hidden double function
- IKEA has three new chargers for your consideration
- They all support the Qi2.0 wireless charging standard
- These chargers are available for $9.99-$24.99 in the US
IKEA’s love for handy home accessories and capital letters is continuing with the VÄSTMÄRKE series, a set of three wireless chargers that support the Qi2 standard – one of which has a useful secondary function hidden away.
That charger is the simply named VÄSTMÄRKE wireless charger (via Notebookcheck), yours for a reasonable $9.99 (we’re still waiting on international pricing and availability). It comes in one color, bright red, and looks very much like a donut.
It supports the Qi2.0 standard and can charge at rates up to 15W. It’s able to attach magnetically too, so it’ll function with the Apple MagSafe and Google Pixelsnap standards, and the integrated USB cable can be stored neatly inside the charger itself.
That double function is the charger’s ability to act as a PopSocket-style holder for your phone: when it is attached magnetically to a handset, you can open it up a little to give you an easier way of gripping your device with one hand.
Stands and bowls

Next up we’ve got the VÄSTMÄRKE wireless charging stand, yours for $24.99, and thanks to IKEA’s no-nonsense naming strategy, you can probably gather what you get with this – it’s like the first charger, but put in a desktop stand made of cork.
It supports Qi2.0 15W charging and magnetic connectivity, so you can snap on your phone horizontally or vertically, and even use it as a nightstand for your phone or as a way of watching videos or making video calls without actually holding your handset.
Last but not least there’s the VÄSTMÄRKE wireless charger with lighting – a wireless charger with an integrated light. This can be yours for $24.99, and again covers the wireless Qi2.0 15W charging standard as the other products.
With this, when you put your handset down to charge, you get some subtle, warm mood lighting around it as well – plus a small bowl where you can drop in keys, rings, or anything else that you need to keep within easy reach.
