# Flexibly Framed Amplifiers The Bentit Speaker has a Pliable Flap that Enables Leaning and Latching By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-12-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentit-speaker References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/BENTIT-bluetooth-speaker/5150021) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/BENTIT-bluetooth-speaker/5150021) With the introduction of the portable [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-wireless-speaker) speaker dock, people have gotten accustomed to the freedom of rearranging their audio setups. The BentIt Speaker has been configured such that one is able to move it around easily and have it fit into many different settings. This is made possible by an innovative pliant material and wireless technology. An [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henri-matisse-x-casetify) can be connected to the [mobile speaker system via Bluetooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orgdot-n200) so that you can even bring this clever device outdoors. Its small squared form also includes a ductile tab that can be adjusted to suit its environment. The malleable flap can be tucked in and looped over light fixtures, curtain rods and tree branches. Just as easily, this part of NT Design Studio's BentIt Speaker can be folded out into a tabletop stand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pliable Material Technology:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to explore the use of pliable materials in other industries and applications such as furniture and clothing. - **Flexible Audio Setups:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for creating more flexible and portable audio setups for both personal and professional use. - **Wireless Connectivity:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to further improve and integrate wireless connectivity in various products and industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop more portable and flexible audio devices. - **Furniture:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to integrate pliable materials in the design and manufacturing of furniture for increased flexibility and adaptability. - **Fashion:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to explore the use of pliable materials in clothing and accessories for increased comfort and adaptability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rolling Pentagonal Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-speaker-concept.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Balanced Uneven Surface Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paava-portable-speaker.md) - [Retro-Style Bookshelf Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speaker-bookend.md) - [Adaptable Kitchen Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chord-kitchen-speaker.md) - [Repairable Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-speaker.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md) - [Building Block Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md)
