The trend is multifunctionality and totally hi-tech, which is why the Folding Iron Concept doesn’t surprise me. It’s a folding iron that works wirelessly. The broad coated faceplate can be used as a handy warmer for your favorite cuppa brew or soup too. A refined version is sure to find a place in my travel case.
Folding Iron is a 2011 iF concept design entry.
Designers: Cai Ze Zhou & Wu Wenjun

Wow! what a innovation and design.

My concern is energy density of a battery being sufficient to actually create anywhere near enough heat for long enough to iron clothes. The one reference I was able to find basically says it's ridiculous: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Questio….
So, file this one under "When technology advances enormously."
Cheers,

I'd file it under
"Creating multifunctionality by adding the possibility to do something marginally relavant"
How many of you ever thought "man, if I had something to keep my mug of coffee warm once I'm done ironing…" ?

I love the sleek finish, maybe we'll have to compromise to accommodate some Lithium-ion batteries for now.. but as soon as Wireless energy transfer becomes the norm… this bad boy is gonna be the 1st thing on the list for the traveler/bachelor.
Nice concept, nice execution!

This is brilliant. The Iron and the cup warmer are 2 single-purpose devices almost completely the same in theory but different in execution. The best part about this device is that it DOESN'T NEED wireless power. Plug that sucker in & I'll still buy it. Don't be dissuaded of the design just because "and a miracle happens" is written on the blueprint. This is solid design with a fantastical element.
