# Electrically Mindful Key Chains This Keyring Design Reminds You to Unplug Your Keys and Appliances By Jen Chae | Published 2013-06-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyring-design References: [pinkoi](http://www.pinkoi.com/product/1Xx6xd2M) The Unplug keyring design makes it easier for you to find your keys. The key chain looks like a wall plug, while its fixed key holder looks like an electrical wall outlet. This way, you can plug in your keys into their socket every time you come home so that you know exactly where your keys are at all time. This design, by eco-conscious Thai company Qualy, also attempts to promote electrical efficiency. Simply pulling your keys out will serve as a small reminder to plug out all your other appliances. The wall plug-shaped keychain itself is made of flexible silicone and metals. The socket is fixed onto any surface by mild adhesives. The keyring does not use any electricity, but mimics the act of unplugging. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Electric Efficiency Reminder Key Chains:** Keychain designs that promote electrical efficiency through the act of plugging and unplugging keys could disrupt the keychain industry as more people prioritize eco-friendliness. - **Silicone and Metal Key Holder Products:** Flexible silicone and metal materials for keychain and key holder products could disrupt the traditional plastic-dominated market as consumers seek more durable options. - **Innovative Reminder Designs for Everyday Items:** Designs that incorporate innovative reminders for everyday items, such as keychains, could disrupt the market as consumers seek more practical and functional products. ### Where This Applies - **Keychain Industry:** This industry could benefit from developing more eco-friendly and durable designs with reminder features to attract environmentally conscious and practical consumers. - **Home Goods Industry:** The design could disrupt this industry as consumers prioritize electrical efficiency and seek innovative reminder products for household items. - **Eco-friendly Product Industry:** The product could disrupt this industry as more consumers seek creative and practical solutions to reduce their environmental impact in everyday life. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Power Cord Removers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plug-puller.md) - [Accessible Power Cord Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipull.md) - [Durable Device Connection Keychains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nomad-chargekey.md) - [Intentional Disconnection Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-power.md) - [Design-Conscious Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strip-concept.md) - [Artfully Dynamic Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aunion.md) - [Magnetic Pop-Open Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ysmart-mq3.md) - [Modular Self-Monitoring Power Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teak-smart-cube.md) - [Pencil-Resembling Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencil-multitap.md)
