# Levitating Cloud Speaker Lights 'Making Weather' Plays Music and Creates a Natural Light Show By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-10-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speaker-light References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/10/06/soundcloud-on-your-desktop/) & [richardclarkson](http://www.richardclarkson.com/) The 'Making Weather' speaker light is the design work of Richard Clarkson and Crealey, and creates a natural piece of decor that is illusionary, inspiring and soothing. Crafted to look like a cloud, the 'Making Weather' speaker floats about the main base with elegance and twirls slowly to enable a sense of movement. The 'Making Weather' speaker light is capable of playing music and will synchronize the flashing lightning within the cloud to the beat of the sound. This helps to bring the music to life and create a comprehensive experience for users to enjoy. The natural world is often pushed away in urban settings and can leave many feeling disconnected; the 'Making Weather' speaker helps bring a touch of sky-high design indoors to help mend the rift. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cloud-inspired Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand on the trend of creating illusionary home decor inspired by natural phenomena. - **Synchronized Music and Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate music and lighting in a synchronized way to create immersive experiences for users. - **Interactive Speakers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop speakers that move and interact with users in unique and unexpected ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate cloud-inspired designs and interactive features into home decor products. - **Audio Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop audio technology that can synchronize with lighting or other visual elements to create immersive experiences for users. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of incorporating AI technology into interactive home decor, creating products that adapt and respond to users' preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Spherical Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alex-casabo.md) - [Mood-Setting Speaker Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-bluetooth-speaker-with-light.md) - [Invigorating Speaker Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-and-visual-device.md) - [Levitating Lunar Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lua-speaker.md) - [Ceiling-Mounted Orb Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andr-terchanian.md) - [Three-Dimensional Home Audio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-speaker.md) - [Ice-Inspired Ferrofluid Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iceberg-crystal-speaker.md) - [Chinese Lantern-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sirocco-speaker.md) - [50s-Style Light Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-speaker.md)
