The lamp's shades come in different hues of beige and its base come in either black or white. The speaker/lamp features an [on-board amplifier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockbot-smart-amp) (80 watts including sub woofer), spatial stereo, NXT and Airsound technologies and the option of a docking station for your [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowers-wilkins2). **Implications** - Combining two pieces of technology into one product is a way for companies to expand their horizons. As society embraces a minimalist and simplistic style, having less is more, which can be translated into having fewer products that provide more functions. By incorporating multiple products into one, companies are offering consumers convenience, practicality and function. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 4% | 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) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tech-decor Combo:** The trend towards combining technology and home decor presents opportunities to disrupt both industries by offering practicality and style. - **Multipurpose Gadgets:** The popularity of multipurpose gadgets is increasing and companies that can provide convenience and functionality with one single product will have a disruptive advantage. - **Spatial Audio Technology:** The rise of spatial audio technologies such as NXT and Airsound present opportunities to transform the way consumers experience home entertainment and music. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** By incorporating technology in home decor, the industry can offer practicality, convenience, and innovation. - **Technology:** Technology companies can take advantage of the trend to combine multiple products into one gadget, providing more value to consumers and disrupting the market by offering better functionality and convenience. - **Audio Industry:** Spatial audio technologies such as NXT and Airsound present disruptive innovation opportunities that can change the way consumers experience music and home entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mood-Setting Speaker Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-bluetooth-speaker-with-light.md) - [50s-Style Light Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-speaker.md) - [Cozy Ambient Speaker Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloomi-lantern.md) - [Lantern-Inspired Speaker Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-speaker-lamp.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-lamp-speaker.md) - [Sound-Reactive Smart Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-table-lamp-2-pro-x-sound-by-jbl.md) - [Sunset Lamp Hybrid Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boat-stone-lumos.md) - [Exposed Component Audio Amplifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ampieq-sound-amplifier.md) - [Book-Holding Bedside Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedside-speaker.md)
