The speaker features an [almost house-like shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eversolo-se100-speakers) and construction, which consists of a gable-style speaker in the upper section along with controls in the base. The upper section is perfect for positioning a book when going to sleep, while a built-in light will provide essential illumination when reading or getting up in the night. The conceptual 'Tlas' bedside speaker also functions as a smart audio device for listening to music or even audiobooks when relaxing in bed. Users can also take notes using their voice to eliminate the need for a pen and paper. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multifunctional Bedside Devices:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional bedside furnishings and electronics by creating compact, multi-purpose products. - **Smart Bedroom Speakers:** Innovative audio technology that enhances the sleeping and waking experience with added features such as lighting and voice-command capabilities. - **Voice-controlled Note Taking:** Revolutionizing traditional note-taking methods by incorporating voice-activated technology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Furnishings:** Opportunity to incorporate technology into household furnishings, providing multi-functional, space-saving solutions. - **Audio Technology:** Implementation of advanced technology in home audio systems and speakers with a focus on convenience and functionality. - **Digital Note-taking:** Opportunity to revolutionize traditional note-taking methods by incorporating digital technology that allows for hands-free, voice-activated notes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Style Bookshelf Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speaker-bookend.md) - [Modular Wireless Speaker Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beat-bookend.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md) - [Comforting Pillow-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oa-speaker.md) - [Childhood Bedtime Story Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiobook-player.md) - [50s-Style Light Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-speaker.md) - [Music-Playing Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-book-stand.md) - [Headphone-Holding Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornucopia-speaker.md) - [Geometric Two-Part Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-bluetooth-speaker-design.md)
