Featuring an asymmetrical design, the hairdryer has a handle that's easily held during use to eliminate the occurrence of fatigue that can develop with traditional solutions. The unit features an intuitive touch panel on the rear for controlling the functionality and prevent unwanted toggles during use. The conceptual 'Branch' hairdryer is the design work of Seokmoon Woo and is intended to be docked in the accompanying base when not in use. This will transform the appliance into a [tree-inspired work of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aghsan) that will help to enhance the feel of even small living spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Haircare Devices:** Opportunity to disrupt haircare industry with aesthetic and functional designs. - **Smart Hairdryers:** Opportunity to innovate the haircare industry with smart hairdryers that have touch panels for control and prevention of unwanted toggles during use. - **Ergonomic Hair Dryers:** Opportunity to innovate the haircare industry with more ergonomic hairdryers that eliminate fatigue associated with traditional solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Innovative haircare devices such as the 'Branch' hairdryer can disrupt and enhance the beauty industry. - **Home Appliances:** There is an opportunity to introduce more aesthetically pleasing and functional designs for home appliances, such as hairdryers with artistic designs that can transform simple appliances into works of art. - **Interior Design:** The 'Branch' hairdryer can offer an opportunity for designers to incorporate more artistic and functional appliances into interior designs to bring unique elements to small living spaces and enhance the feel of living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Conceptual Hands-Free Hair Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillar-handsfree.md) - [Assistive One-Handed Hairdryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-hairdryer.md) - [Tubular Bathroom Body Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-spa.md) - [Salon Stylist Sprayer Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-sprayer.md) - [Artful Handheld Vacuum Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-vacuum-1.md) - [Smart Styling Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newbe-styling-station.md) - [Powerful Sci-Fi Hair Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualmotor-hair-dryer.md) - [Design-Conscious Space Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-heater.md) - [Adaptive Hair Dryer Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pilot-ai-hair-dryer.md)
