Min Kyu Choi decided that didn’t make much sense and created the Flatpack Power Plug to combat it. The Flatpack Power Plug by Min Kyu Choi is a [twistable design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-charge-adapter) that turns the plug from a 1 cm thick plug to a [standard size plug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-nano-travel-adapter). What’s better is that she also designed a [power bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodes) that lets you plug in 3 unfolded plugs at once. It’s so small, and so useful! Take a look at Min Kyu Choi’s design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smaller Technology:** Exploring ways to make technology smaller and more compact could lead to disruptive innovation opportunities in various industries. - **Space-saving Designs:** Developing designs that optimize space and reduce clutter can create disruptive innovation opportunities in different sectors. - **Foldable Products:** Embracing the concept of foldable products opens up disruptive innovation possibilities across multiple industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Electronics:** Implementing foldable plugs and space-saving designs in the electronics industry could lead to disruptive innovations in charging solutions and device designs. - **Home Appliances:** Applying smaller technology and foldable designs to home appliances may create disruptive innovations in terms of compact, versatile, and efficient products. - **Travel and Hospitality:** Exploring foldable power plugs and space-saving designs for travel accessories can present disruptive innovation opportunities, offering convenience and portability to travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Multi-charging Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-charger.md) - [Stackable Blocky Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-design.md) - [Sleek Compact Minimal Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-charger.md) - [Compact Universal Travel-Ready Adaptors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ta205.md) - [Modular Self-Monitoring Power Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teak-smart-cube.md) - [U-Shaped Power Strip Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strip-2.md) - [Rotating Outlet Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oconnect-onestep.md) - [Portable Compact Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-kettle.md) - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md)
