Offering a [360-degree audio experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-minus-zero) and suitable for any workstation, the speaker features an integrated charging pad on the top middle section. This allows users to charge their device and stream music at the same time, while also angling the screen towards them to easily see notifications as they come through to keep them connected at all times. The conceptual 'Tevol' speaker is the design work of Lee Hyeong Seop and has been created a number of color variations to suit individual preferences perfectly. The multifunctional design of the unit makes it ideal for users who require dual-purpose devices to keep their lifestyle less complicated. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wireless Charging Speakers:** Designers are creating products that combine wireless charging and speakers into one device, allowing users to charge their device and stream music simultaneously. - **360-degree Audio Experience:** The introduction of speakers that offer a 360-degree audio experience is changing the way users listen to music and consume media. - **Dual-purpose Devices:** Consumers are looking for products that serve multiple functions to simplify their lifestyle. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Companies in the consumer electronics industry can develop wireless charging speakers to cater to users who require dual-purpose devices. - **Home Audio:** The home audio industry can integrate wireless charging capabilities into their speakers to offer users a more convenient audio experience. - **Office Equipment:** The office equipment industry can incorporate multifunctional designs into their products, like the Tevol speaker, to meet the needs of modern workplaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Wireless Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speaker-and-wireless-charger-concept.md) - [Stealthy Multifunctional Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eko-system.md) - [WiFi-Charged Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braun-faithfull-speaker.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexon-city-energy-pro.md) - [Phone Charger-Infused Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-chargerinfused-speaker.md) - [Industrially Designed Desktop Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-speaker.md) - [Decorative Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricharge-wireless-charger-concept.md) - [Adaptable Kitchen Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chord-kitchen-speaker.md) - [Minimalist Metallic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suono-bluetooth-speaker.md)
