The HexA Folding Stove concept is an idea that appears to achieve the best of both criteria, with a design that's unbelievably [compact, easy to use](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-cube-cooking-system) and effective for its one particular function. Ha Joo Yeon, Park Hung Jun and Yoon Seung Hyun came up with this [collapsible burner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revo-stovigo) to relieve campers of the burden of [big gas stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firetower-ti) and propane tanks in their backpacks. This clever contraption can be bent up with its six hexagonal sides turned together, making it small enough to be held in a single fist. The HexA Folding Stove is thin and broad and stable enough to be positioned almost anywhere during use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Design:** The trend of creating compact, portable products without compromising on functionality or quality. - **Collapsible Technology:** The trend of developing products that can be easily folded or collapsed to save space and enhance portability. - **Minimalist Camping Gear:** The trend of designing camping equipment with a focus on simplicity, lightweight materials, and multi-functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the outdoor recreation industry by creating innovative and compact camping cookware. - **Travel & Tourism:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the travel and tourism industry by offering lightweight and portable cooking solutions for backpackers and campers. - **Product Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of product design by developing collapsible and space-saving solutions for various consumer products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collapsible Wood-Burning Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leikki-camping-stove.md) - [Minimalist Outdoor Stove Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lava-box.md) - [Flatpack Titanium Stove Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shuhu-stove.md) - [Dual-Purpose Camping Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-maple-sunflower-x.md) - [Modular Portable Cooktop Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-hotplate.md) - [Minimalist Camper Butane Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-home-camp-burner.md) - [Micro-Sized Backpacker Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antarcti-gas-fire-pit.md) - [Camping-Friendly Compact Cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yunsoo-choi.md) - [Portable Suitcase-Style Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanye-folding-barbecue.md)
