Cordless Kitchen by URBANEER and the Wireless Power Consortium Featured at 2018 Smart Kitchen Summit in Seattle

URBANEER partnered with the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to develop the very first commercially available wireless power kitchen, which was on display at the 2018 North America Smart Kitchen Summit in Seattle, WA. All of the countertops in the kitchen are imbedded with Qi technology, and devices are powered by simply being placed on the surface (think cell phones, laptops, and cordless appliances, which are soon to hit the US market...). Studies suggest that the kitchen is the most trafficked and important area in many people’s homes and technology has pervaded nearly every aspect of our lives, and we are now bringing that into the kitchen.

Introducing the URBANEER Horizontal Wall Bed

Introducing The URBANEER Horizontal Wall Bed, the newest multifunctional piece in URBANEER's suite of smart products. Like all of our products, the Horizontal Wall Bed was designed to bring flexibility and multi-functionality to any room. We designed the Horizontal Wall Bed to open up sideways to allow for additional clearance when there is a low ceiling, when the projection into the room is limited, or if the occupant desires that particular style. Just like everything we create, functionality and quality were at top-of-mind while designing and engineering this piece.
