Fabuwood and FreePower Hide a Three-Device Charger Inside a Drawer

Fabuwood and FreePower will launch the InFocus Drawer on November 16, 2026 — a kitchen drawer that charges three Qi-enabled devices simultaneously at up to 15W each, behind a closed cabinet front. The announcement does not disclose a price.

The product moves device charging off the counter and into the cabinetry. Compatible phones and earbud cases recharge wirelessly inside the drawer, freeing counter space and removing the usual tangle of trailing cables. A small circular medallion on the exterior marks the drawer's function. The interior keeps a wood-toned finish, and the front stays part of the kitchen's cabinetry design — no glossy charging pad, no visible cluster of sockets.

What does FreePower's technology change?

FreePower's contribution eliminates the alignment problem common to wireless charging. Its system uses an array of charging coils (transmitters that send power through a surface without contact), so devices can sit at different positions and angles within the active charging area. Users don't have to match each phone to a specific circular target on a pad. That matters because dropping devices into a drawer has to become a habit, not another chore.

The 15W figure is a rating, not a guarantee. As the announcement notes, the advertised maximum isn't a promise that every device will draw that much power. The practical benefit is shared: one concealed charging area replaces each person's individual cable on the counter.

How did Fabuwood frame the design?

Fabuwood traces the concept to its own habit of putting phones away before meetings. The company translates that gesture into the home: before a meal, everyone leaves their devices inside and closes the drawer. Charging supplies a practical reason to put the phone down rather than leaving it beside a plate, where every illuminated notification stays in view.

What does installation require?

The InFocus Drawer is not a loose charging mat. Key constraints:

• Designed for compatible 18-inch Fabuwood cabinetry
• Requires a standard outlet — "wireless" describes the connection to devices, not the drawer's power supply
• The drawer's space comes out of the kitchen's existing storage allowance
• Thick cases and metal objects can interfere with wireless charging, FreePower warns

Those constraints put installation in the kitchen-planning conversation. A household converting a utensil drawer sacrifices storage, and the charging area needs to stay clear even when the closed front makes it tempting to forget what's inside.

The InFocus Drawer gives households a designated place for phones before sitting down together. Someone still has to decide to leave the devices there until the dishes are cleared.
