Adorable Animalistic Cable Wraps

These Colorful Elephants Double as Cute Earphone Cable Wraps

— June 19, 2013 — Tech
These stubby pink and blue earphone cable wraps are shaped like adorable elephants. The Animal Love collection by Chinese manufacturer Kedo creatively designs little figurines to deliver both smiles and functionality convenience -- they are fun and toy-like, yet very practical.

The soft texture of the material safely keeps your delicate earphone cables organized and tangle-free. The elephants’ trunks and four legs are designed to separate the earphone cord when wrapped.

The idea of electronics and technology in general is often associated with the color gray and materials like metal, but many creative designers strive to soften the connotation of gadgets. These bright-colored elephants are a great example of how technology can be cute and appeal to a niche market. Children would also love the playful figurines that can keep their first pair of earphones organized and in good shape.
Trend Themes
1. Colorful Cable Wraps - Designing cable wraps in bright colors adds a fun and playful element to an otherwise mundane tech accessory, appealing to a niche market.
2. Cute Tech Accessories - Creating tech accessories with cute and adorable designs, such as animal figurines, combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, catering to consumers who value both.
3. Softening Tech Connotations - Incorporating soft textures and vibrant colors into tech products helps to break away from the traditional gray and metal associations, making technology more approachable and appealing to a wider audience.
Industry Implications
1. Electronics Manufacturing - Manufacturers in the electronics industry can explore the production of colorful cable wraps and cute tech accessories to tap into the growing demand for aesthetically pleasing and fun tech products.
2. Children's Tech Accessories - The market for children's tech accessories presents an opportunity to develop innovative and cute designs, such as animal-themed cable wraps, which appeal to younger consumers and their parents.
3. Tech Fashion and Lifestyle - The intersection of technology and fashion/lifestyle industries offers an opportunity to introduce cute and colorful tech accessories that can be incorporated into everyday style, appealing to fashion-forward consumers.
