# Cutting-Edge Crystalline Gadgets The Diamond Audio Collection Takes Alluring, Multifaceted Forms By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamond-audio-collection References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Diamond/6022911) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Diamond/6022911) It's quite easy to be impressed by the [glossy gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-audio-product) that make up the Diamond audio collection. Slim and sleek is certainly a popular style for electronics at the moment; however, the abstract forms of these products add another gripping dimension to them. Cátia Pereira designed the four hi-tech items for the Zipy Company Contest; the challenge was to dream up mp5, mp4 and mp3 players, as well as a [pair of headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweled-design). Each of these was executed with a geoform modeling approach that has produced complex surfaces that form flat faces with creases between them. Consequently, every item within the Diamond audio collection catches the light and reflects it at various divergent angles. Combined with vivid displays and glowing teal buttons, the devices are digital-age gems. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Multifaceted Geometric Designs:** Opportunities for incorporating unique geometric shapes and angles in tech products. - **Crystal Clear Audio:** Innovations in audio technology and design that prioritize high-quality sound and sleek aesthetics. - **Glossy Gadgets:** Advancements in creating slick and polished surface finishes for electronic devices. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Creating new and innovative audio and tech gear for the mainstream market. - **Jewelry:** Exploring the intersection between technology and fashion, such as creating electronics that double as wearable jewelry pieces. - **Luxury Goods:** Developing high-end audio products that emphasize crystal clear sound and exclusive design aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystalline Tech Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-clear-series.md) - [Transparent Cyberpunk MP3 Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-device.md) - [Sculptural Earbud Statement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-sculptural-earbuds.md) - [Jewel-Like Structural Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obsidian-speaker.md) - [Aesthetically Pleasing CD Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cd-player.md) - [Technologically Enhanced Electronic Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-handbags.md) - [Ice-Inspired Ferrofluid Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iceberg-crystal-speaker.md) - [Fashion-Forward Audio Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peripherii-priamble.md) - [Fashion-Forward Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openear-earbud-concept.md)
