Wireless charging in canteens, lounges and cafés

Canteens, lounges and cafés as the heart of connection

Modern break areas are no longer just places to eat. They are multifunctional environments where people:

• Recharge their phones while taking a break
• Catch up over coffee without searching for power outlets
• Hold informal one-on-one meetings
• Stay connected between tasks

Designing for this reality means offering effortless power. Wireless charging supports social interaction instead of interrupting it.

Wireless charging designed for social spaces

Wireless charging in shared environments must be intuitive, discreet and reliable. By integrating chargers below the surface, power becomes part of the furniture rather than an added accessory.

This approach keeps surfaces clean, maintains hygiene standards and preserves interior design. Users simply place their device on the table and continue their conversation.

Proven in real-world environments

What wireless charging adds to shared spaces

Integrating Zens wireless charging into canteens, lounges or cafés delivers more than power alone:

• Clean, clutter-free surfaces with no cables, adapters or misplaced chargers
• Effortless convenience by simply placing a device on the table
• Brand alignment through optional custom branding that reflects your identity
• Better social interaction by keeping phones accessible but not dominant

Wireless charging supports connection without drawing attention to itself.

Spaces that work harder

With integrated wireless charging, canteens and cafés evolve from functional eating areas into active parts of the workplace ecosystem. These are spaces where:

• People and devices recharge together
• Conversations continue without interruption
• Design and technology work in harmony

At Zens, we see every table, counter and shared surface as a potential power point that enhances the experience rather than disrupting it.

Designing shared spaces for tomorrow

Smart workplace and hospitality design goes beyond desks. It considers every place where people spend time, including moments between tasks, during lunch or over coffee. In modern work and hospitality environments, power no longer waits at the wall. It is available wherever people meet, eat and connect.

With Zens wireless charging, shared spaces are ready for today and designed for what comes next
