# Piggy Power Bars This Power Bar Design Concept Takes Inspiration from a Piggy Bank By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-bar-design References: [gadgetsin](http://gadgetsin.com/piggy-bank-styled-power-strip.htm) & [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/10/04/the-piggy-trip/) The Svintus power bar design is a concept by the Art Lebedev Studio that combines the function of a power strip with the look of a [piggy bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-piggy-bank). The design makes use of a pig's snout for each outlet, and since power strips are made up of multiple receptacles, the result is a rather mutant-like piggy power bank. The [power bar concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-power-strip-1) has 17 snouts, where you can plug a gadget into each one. To complete the look of the playful power bar, the pig-themed shape has an adorable curly tail that resembles an old phone cord. On the underside of the device, there's even a small button where you can hit the circuit breaker in case the device ever gets overloaded. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Playful Power Bars:** Designing power bars with unconventional and playful aesthetics to add an element of fun to everyday electrical devices. - **Animal-inspired Design:** Incorporating animal motifs and features into everyday products to create unique and eye-catching designs. - **Multipurpose Power Strips:** Developing power strips that serve not only as functional outlets but also as decorative or interactive elements in the home or office. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Exploring innovative designs and concepts for power bars and electrical accessories to enhance consumer experience. - **Home Decor:** Catering to consumers who seek creative, unique, and aesthetically pleasing home decor items with functional purposes. - **Toy and Games:** Expanding the market for innovative and interactive power bars that appeal to children and adults alike, merging functionality with playfulness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pencil-Resembling Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencil-multitap.md) - [Nature-Inspired Puffy Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-air.md) - [Rotating Outlet Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oconnect-onestep.md) - [Power Strip Illuminated Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightbox-power-strip.md) - [Chic Technology Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/360-electrical-powercurve77.md) - [U-Shaped Power Strip Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strip-2.md) - [Artfully Dynamic Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aunion.md) - [Digital Currency Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-piggy-bank-concept.md) - [Modular Power Strip Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodes.md)
