# Demure Designer Home Speakers The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay M6 High-End Speakers are Cylindrical By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-02-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highend-speakers References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/02/27/beoplays-imac-inspired-speaker/) The conceptual Bang & Olufsen Beoplay M6 high-end speakers incorporate the design aesthetic of the cylindrical computer units that made an entrance onto the market a short while back. This makes the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay M6 speakers look like monolithic pieces of equipment that deviate from the traditional design aesthetic that the audio brand is known for. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay M6 high-end speakers are the design work of Yomoto Mirou and are crafted from durable materials such as matte plastic, matte metal and woven fabric. The top portion of the [home speaker units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-speaker) is designed with a ripple effect that finishes the speakers off to be quite subtle and simplistic within a living space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cylindrical Design Aesthetic:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of incorporating the sleek, cylindrical design aesthetic into various consumer electronics products. - **Durable and Subtle Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new materials and finishing techniques for consumer electronics that enhance durability while maintaining a subtle and simplistic design. - **Deviation From Traditional Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Challenge existing design norms in the audio industry by creating unique and unconventional speaker designs that stand out in the market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate and reimagine the design and functionality of consumer electronics products, particularly speakers and audio equipment. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Bridge the gap between home decor and technology by creating speakers that not only deliver high-quality audio but also blend seamlessly into various interior design styles. - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink the manufacturing processes and materials used in audio equipment to create visually striking and durable products that stand out in a crowded market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Marble-Accented Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beosound-balance-natura-speaker.md) - [Future-Proof Luxurious Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a5-portable-speaker.md) - [Immersive Multi-Room Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiroom-speaker.md) - [Basket-Resembling Premium Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a5.md) - [Collaborative Industrial Speaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-x-vollebak-beosound-2.md) - [Wireless Harmonious Modern Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beolab-8.md) - [Modularly Elegant Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-orchestra.md) - [Wireless Premium Distinctive Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beolab-8-speaker.md) - [Eye-Catching Freestanding Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oli-home-speaker.md)
