# Sculptural Salon Appliances The Kala Hair Dryer is Meant Also to be Appreciated for its Appearance By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-12-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kala-hair-dryer References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Kala/1589271) Home haircare apparatuses have to look attractive insofar as a pleasing aesthetic quality is more likely to encourage their purchase. The [Kala](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kala-lamp) Hair Dryer, however, goes beyond this notion of streamlined design with perhaps a flash of color, rather in favor of a form that is itself a work of art. Based on this design by Kartel, the [blow-dryer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t3-aire-iq) would simply not be fit for storage under the sink. Its smooth and [sculptural plastic body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doric-vacuum-cleaner) is too beautiful to be tucked away and much better appreciated visually when wound up and kept on the washroom vanity. Even the power plug of the divine device has been molded to match the elegant shape of the Kala Hair Dryer, all inspired by the grace and exquisiteness of the calla lily. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Sculptural Design Appliances:** There is an opportunity for companies to create home appliances, specifically haircare products, that are both functional and visually appealing featuring aesthetically pleasing designs. - **Art-inspired Haircare Devices:** The use of art-inspired designs in haircare devices such as Kartel's Kala Hair Dryer provides an opportunity to differentiate products and make them more attractive to consumers. - **Beauty-enhancing Device Aesthetics:** Companies can innovate by focusing on the beauty-enhancing qualities of their haircare devices, potentially leading to increased customer engagement and loyalty. ### Where This Applies - **Haircare and Beauty Industry:** Companies in the haircare and beauty industry can incorporate art-inspired designs to differentiate their products and add value to customers. - **Home Appliance Industry:** Companies in the home appliance industry can explore the opportunity of creating innovative, aesthetically pleasing product designs that are both functional and visually attractive for customers. - **Design and Fashion Industry:** The design and fashion industry can capitalize on creating striking and beautiful product designs that fuse function and aesthetics to the benefit of manufacturers and consumers alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mounted Handsfree Hair Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assist-hair-dryer.md) - [Smart Styling Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newbe-styling-station.md) - [User-Centric Hair Curlers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-hair-styling-innovation.md) - [Powerful Sci-Fi Hair Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualmotor-hair-dryer.md) - [Salon Stylist Sprayer Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-sprayer.md) - [Tubular Bathroom Body Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-spa.md) - [Pink Hair Drying Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-drying-brush.md) - [Assistive One-Handed Hairdryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-hairdryer.md) - [Multifunctional Advanced Hair Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spa-styler.md)
