While other [speaker systems for home entertainment centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-soundbar-speaker) are designed to be incorporated into environments, the Geneva Sound System XXL is designed to stand out. Packed six powerful speakers and an 8-inch subwoofer, the Geneva Sound System XXL is [Bluetooth-enabled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tivoli-audio-boutique) and capable of supporting a 65-inch TV on top. The interior storage space of the Geneva Sound System XXL is ideal for holding game consoles, DVD players and the like to keep them discreetly out of sight. While the idea of furniture speakers is certainly nothing new, the Geneva Sound System XXL is a television stand that helps bring back the classic concept in a chic way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 39% | 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-purpose Furniture:** The trend of furniture with dual functions and capabilities is rising and could provide opportunities for disruptive innovation in home entertainment systems. - **Bluetooth-enabled Speakers:** Wireless connectivity is becoming increasingly important for speakers, opening up the opportunity for innovative products that prioritize seamless connection and user experience. - **Discreet Storage Solutions:** There is a growing demand for furniture that can cater to the digital lifestyle and provide ample storage space for electronic devices, while remaining visually appealing and inconspicuous. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Incorporating technology and functionality into furniture design could result in unique products that appeal to a tech-savvy consumer base. - **Home Entertainment Systems:** The integration of speakers, televisions, and storage units offer ample opportunities for innovation and customization in the home entertainment industry. - **Wireless Connectivity:** As Bluetooth connectivity becomes more popular, industries that prioritize wireless functionality in their products can create new avenues for collaboration and innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Furniture-Shaped Speaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eversolo-se100-speakers.md) - [Portable Wireless Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-minus-zero.md) - [Landmark-Resembling Floor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-standing-wireless.md) - [All-In-One Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ls60-wireless.md) - [Eye-Catching Freestanding Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oli-home-speaker.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Sleek Cubic Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bredaquaranta-totem-by-mario-bellini-for-brionvega.md) - [Portable Pill-Shaped Soundbar Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-stanbyme-speaker.md) - [Cinema-Grade Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-theatre.md)
