The EGB2 Record Console is inspired by those of its kind in the middle of the 20th century. It also contains a pull-out whisky bar and comes with "custom gold rimmed" glasses. These classic functions are coupled with modern ones as well, as it has a two-way speaker system that offers "warm and rich" sounds. The multifunctional record console can also stream music as long as it is connected to [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-record-players) or [Airplay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edifier-d32). With its luxurious, classic outwards appearance and up-to-date music functions, this multifunctional record console is the perfect mix of nostalgic and modern for the music lover's home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Multifunctional Furniture:** The trend of combining different functions in a single piece of furniture creates opportunities for innovative designs that cater to consumers' multifaceted needs. - **Retro-modern Fusion:** The blending of vintage aesthetics with modern functionality presents an opportunity to appeal to consumers looking for a nostalgic yet contemporary experience. - **Smart Audio Integration:** The integration of smart technology into audio devices allows for seamless connectivity and enhanced user experiences, opening doors for innovative features and capabilities. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can explore opportunities in creating multifunctional pieces that combine aesthetic appeal with practicality and modern features. - **Home Decor and Design:** Home decor and design businesses can tap into the retro-modern fusion trend by offering furniture and accessories that blend classic design elements with contemporary functionality. - **Audio Technology:** The audio technology industry can capitalize on the smart audio integration trend by developing innovative audio devices that seamlessly connect with smart home ecosystems and enhance user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Modern Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-record-players.md) - [Style-Conscious Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upright-vinyl-record-player.md) - [Mid-Century Warm Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hifi-console.md) - [Sculptural Modern Turntable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amuni-studio.md) - [Creator Edition Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/larrabee-creator-edition-m1.md) - [Retro-Modern Turntable Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-turntable-concept.md) - [Futuristic Old-Fashioned Phonographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-retro-player.md) - [Modernized Millennial Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asenso-record-player.md) - [Contemporary Stereo Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-record-bureau.md)
