# Simple Spherical Smartphone Docs The Denon Cocoon Is Designed to Resemble a Cocoon By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-01-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denon-cocoon References: [damnthatshot](http://www.damnthatshot.com/2012/09/07/denon-cocoon/) & [usa.denon](http://usa.denon.com/US/CocoonSite/index.html) The Denon Cocoon dock isn’t the kind of speaker you’ll want to keep cooped up for long. This gorgeous smartphone dock is designed with inspiration from -- you guessed it -- a cocoon. With a [smooth, rounded frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dockorb) and a [clean minimalist button design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoan-desktop), it’s the kind of dock that could easily [blend into a living room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-speaker). Not to say it isn’t noteworthy, but the design lends itself to blending into the background with its all-white or all-black design. The Denon Cocoon isn’t all about looks though. It features 4mm tweeters and two 100mm woofers. The great part about it though is all these speakers are encased in one unit, so there’s no need to fumble with cords. The rear offers input ports for USB, routers and auxiliary cords. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Spherical Smartphone Docks:** Opportunity for manufacturers to create innovative spherical smartphone docks that combine sleek design with high-quality speakers. - **Minimalist Button Design:** Potential for designers to create smartphone docks with clean and minimalist button designs for a seamless user experience. - **All-in-one Speaker Systems:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to develop speaker systems that combine multiple speakers in one compact unit. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to incorporate spherical smartphone docks into their product lines. - **Home Decor:** Potential for home decor brands to collaborate with electronics companies to create smartphone docks that seamlessly blend into home interiors. - **Audio Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for audio equipment manufacturers to develop all-in-one speaker systems with built-in smartphone docks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spherical Smartphone Docking Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dockorb.md) - [Shell-Inspired Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shell-intelligent.md) - [Dome-Shaped Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dome-series.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexon-city-energy-pro.md) - [Freestanding Smartphone Dock Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jteman-phone-stand-and-speaker.md) - [Floating Spherical Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alex-casabo.md) - [Drop-Shaped Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantheone-audio-obsidian.md) - [Shifting Orientation Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-stand-charger.md) - [Stealthy Multifunctional Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eko-system.md)
