It’s not just our homes that are adapting to our connected lifestyle, our urban environments are making small steps to accommodate our world that is run on mobile devices. The Soofa is a modern take on the park bench where you can charge your phone.

This is a neat innovation. Once installed, up to two people can charge their phone via USB at one of these points. While they wait, they can sit on the bench and take in their surroundings. The charging centers are run on solar energy so they’re ecofriendly as well.

They’re also equipped with sensors to monitor how often the space is used, whether they’re being used as chargers or not. It’s a neat way for city planners or park owners to gauge how often a space is being used. And it’s an awesome way to add charging to outdoor spaces. Benches are weather proof.
