# Sound System Chandeliers The Sonos Soundalier is a Custom Audio Set for the NYC Week By Meghan Young | Published 2012-05-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonos-soundalier References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/design/sonos-soundalier.php) & [sonos](http://www.sonos.com/) The [Sonos Soundalier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-lamp-speaker) is made for those who cherish the sense of sound over sight. An uncommon combination between a [sound system and a chandelier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echoes-of-the-deep), it hangs from the ceiling like the latter but in place of the typical light bulbs it has a bunch of small speakers. Shaped like a tree branch, these small Play: 3 speakers can be considered the Sonos Soundalier's leaves. Commissioned by Cool Hunting, the Sonos Soundalier was created by New York-based industrial designer Lindsey Adelman. Working in collaboration with Brooklyn-based jewelry designer Kiel Mead, they teamed up with international audio company Sonos to create the striking sound system. The Sonos Soundalier is to be the centerpiece for the [Sonos Listening Library](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-speaker), which will be held at The Standard East Village during the NYC Design Week. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 60% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Audio-visual Installations:** Businesses could explore integrating sound systems with visual displays to create unique immersive experiences. - **Multipurpose Furniture:** Furniture manufacturers could experiment with combining different functions, such as sound systems and lighting, to create multifunctional pieces. - **Customized Sound Systems:** Custom sound systems could become a new trend in high-end interior design, as consumers look for unique and personalized experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Interior designers and architects could explore new possibilities for integrating technology and sound systems into their designs. - **Furniture:** Furniture manufacturers could create pieces with integrated sound systems that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. - **Audio Technology:** Companies that specialize in audio technology could explore new markets and collaborations with designers and furniture manufacturers to create innovative new products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Home Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sounds-speaker.md) - [Customizable Acoustic Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizble-acoustic-lighting-system.md) - [Sculptural Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker.md) - [Affordable High-End Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dali-sonik-collection.md) - [Landmark-Resembling Floor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-standing-wireless.md) - [Modular Speaker Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-modular-sound.md) - [Immersive Listening Home Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-sound.md) - [Sculptural Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonique.md) - [Spatial Sound Speaker Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-speaker.md)
