# Cylindrical Hair Stylers The Column Hairdryer Has Been Designed for Improved Space Saving By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-04-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hairdryer References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2015/04/24/the-must-have-hairdryer/) & [ahhaproject](http://ahhaproject.com/2012/en/work.php) The purpose of the Column Hairdryer may not be immediately obvious, but it's this impression left that makes the design successful. Ahhaproject strove to create an electronic device that's simpler and more geometric in form, enabling it to be neatly and easily stored on a bathroom countertop. There would be no need for a hanger on the vanity or a spacious gap in the under-sink cabinet to stash this [hair dryer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supersonic-r-1); the Column is intended to be placed upright alongside the washbasin, with a slender silhouette even more minimalist than bottles of your hair styling products. What the design of this [pastel-toned hairdryer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wahl-vanquish-hairdryer) demonstrates is a creative approach to rethinking the most common shapes of electronics. Ahhaproject has found a new solution to [space saving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceefficient-drying), ergonomics and effective functionality combined. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Minimalist Electronics:** Designing more geometric and space-saving electronics for improved functionality and aesthetics. - **Ergonomic Electronics:** Focusing on designing electronics that are more comfortable and convenient to use in everyday life. - **Pastel-toned Electronics:** Experimenting with soft and subtle colors in designing modern electronic devices for enhanced visual appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Improving the design and functionality of everyday electronic goods for homes and personal use. - **Home Appliances:** Creating more innovative and space-saving home appliances such as hairdryers for improved home organization. - **Personal Care Products:** Developing more ergonomic and user-friendly personal care products such as hair dryers for improved user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mounted Handsfree Hair Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assist-hair-dryer.md) - [Upright Handsfree Hairdryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standing-hair-dryer.md) - [Assistive One-Handed Hairdryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-hairdryer.md) - [Tubular Bathroom Body Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-spa.md) - [Air-Powered Hair Styling Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-nextgeneration-airwrap.md) - [Smart Styling Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newbe-styling-station.md) - [Multifunctional Styling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conairs-new-infiniti-pro-2in1.md) - [Salon Stylist Sprayer Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-sprayer.md) - [Powerful Sci-Fi Hair Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualmotor-hair-dryer.md)
