# Mono-Color Auto Caps Anton Schnaider Revolutionizes a Long-Forgotten Part of Automobiles By Ksenia Schnaider | Published 2011-03-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/captune References: [antonschnaider](http://www.antonschnaider.com/index.php?/2006/captune/) & [antonschnaider](http://antonschnaider.com/) Russian designer Anton Schnaider ([SILA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silicon-carbon-anode) project group) drew his attention to the fact that the appearance of a car's wheels have been long forgotten. His solution is a logical, aesthetically pleasing enhancement that he calls Captunes. Captunes are [caps of one, solid color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/20-years-of-red) (intended to match the car's entire body) to make the auto's overall aesthetic look more seamless and sleek. At this point, the wheel of a modern car is an afterthought; wheels are just some kind of separate, round piece of rubber, iron and metal. Anton Schnaider is looking to change all of that with his revolutionary Captunes, which allow for [complete car customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l). The auto enthusiasts of the world will be thrilled when Captunes come into mass production. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Car Customization:** Captunes offer a new way for car owners to customize the appearance of their vehicles, creating a trend in personalized auto aesthetics. - **Seamless Design:** The use of mono-color caps on car wheels creates a trend for a more seamless and sleek overall aesthetic for automobiles. - **Wheel Enhancement:** Anton Schnaider's Captunes bring attention to the often overlooked wheel design, resulting in a trend of enhanced wheel aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can capitalize on the trend by offering customizable wheel cap options for car owners. - **Design:** The design industry has opportunities to create innovative and visually pleasing mono-color cap designs for car wheels. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore collaborations with car manufacturers to create matching mono-color caps for car wheels, offering a stylish and coordinated look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Smart Vehicle Tires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conqueror-tire.md) - [Touch-Sensitive Steering Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cercle-steering-wheel-concept.md) - [Car Color-Changing Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-color-changing-technology.md) - [Adaptable Shapeshifting Steering Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-steering-wheel.md) - [Futuristic Auto Wheel Modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-module.md) - [Electric Aerodynamic Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatra-77-concept.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Automatic Color-Changing Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-ix-flow.md) - [One-Click Car Protection Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-safety-device.md)
