# Posh Parabolic Design Speakers The Conceptual 'Deskpod' Speakers Follow Apple's Design Language By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-10-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskpod References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2021/10/25/this-apple-inspired-speakers-features-a-parabolic-design-for-a-fun-yet-powerful-gadget/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+yankodesign+%28Yanko+Design+-+Form+Beyond+Function%29) & [svoxman.design](https://www.svoxman.design/)  The conceptual 'Deskpod' speakers have been designed by Sasha Waxman as an imagined version of what [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-homepod-nano)-branded [desktop speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ora4) might look like. The speakers maintain a parabolic design aesthetic that is achieved with bright red components in the main section and supported by a metallic frame. The speakers are imagined as being the perfect bedfellow for the latest 24-inch Apple [iMac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour) to deliver immersive audio that doesn't come at the expense of style for a clean desktop experience. The conceptual 'Deskpod' speakers were explained further by Waxman who said, "The bold colors and simple geometry make the speakers pop off the background. The simplicity and high contrast of the speakers make them a bold addition to any space.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Parabolic Design Aesthetics:** There is an opportunity to explore new ways of incorporating parabolic design aesthetics on other technology devices beyond speakers. - **Apple-branded Desktop Peripherals:** Developing a line of Apple-branded desktop peripherals, such as these imagined speakers, could be an opportunity for the company to expand its product portfolio. - **Customizable Desktop Speaker Designs:** There is an opportunity for companies to offer customizable speaker designs that follow parabolic design aesthetics to cater to consumers who value both style and audio quality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can explore integrating parabolic design aesthetics in their products, offering consumers a new visual experience. - **Technology Accessories:** There is an opportunity for technology accessory companies to develop stylish peripherals that complement Apple's design language, particularly for their desktop line of products. - **Home Decor:** Parabolic design aesthetics as seen in these speakers can also translate into home decor products and offer a new and sleek look for consumers' workspaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrially Designed Desktop Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-speaker.md) - [Otherworldly Desktop Gaming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex-speaker-concept.md) - [Industrial Design Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-homepod-nano.md) - [Speaker-Base Table Design Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verre-desk.md) - [Ultra-Thin Chromatic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diyr-speaker.md) - [Minimal Elegant Desktop Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoan-desktop.md) - [Shell-Inspired Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shell-intelligent.md) - [Minimalist Metallic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suono-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Eye-Catching Freestanding Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oli-home-speaker.md)
