# All-White Appliance Ads ‘The Pencil Sharpener Ventilator' Video Showcases New Inventio By Jason Soy | Published 2011-12-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pencil-sharpener-ventilator References: [designcollector.net](http://designcollector.net/the-pencil-sharpener-ventilator/) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/31678050) I had no idea that this ‘The Pencil Sharpener Ventilator’ video was promoting the nifty appliance created by Mathias Nosel and his friend Sabrina Mairinger. I was too entranced by the video’s ultra hip, all-white presentation and catchy tunes to pay attention to anything the video was actually trying to convey. After the excitement died down, I learned that there’s an even more fascinating story surrounding The Pencil Sharpener Ventilator video. First off, yes, there is indeed a Pencil Sharpener Ventilator in existence and it was made using an old [electronic fan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-turboblade) and adding a [pencil sharpener](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencil-sharpener-1) to the direct center of the appliance. Nosel, its inventor, claims the hybrid device is, “The Most Ingenious Invention After the Wheel.” With a video that spiffy, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one, though I currently can’t afford the $400,000 price tag. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **All-white Appliance Ads:** There is an opportunity for appliance companies to create trendy and stylish all-white ads to attract younger audiences. - **Hybrid Appliances:** There is an opportunity for inventors and companies to create hybrid appliances like the Pencil Sharpener Ventilator to create unique and innovative products for consumers. - **Quirky Product Demos:** There is an opportunity for companies to create quirky and entertaining demos for their products, like the Pencil Sharpener Ventilator video, to go viral and increase brand awareness. ### Who This Affects Most - **Appliances:** The appliance industry can benefit from exploring hybrid appliances and trendy advertising strategies to capture new customers and increase revenue. - **Inventors:** Inventors are presented with opportunities to create hybrid appliances and contribute to the trend of unique and innovative products in the market. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising companies can experiment with creating quirky and entertaining demos for products to increase brand awareness and reach a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaudiinspired.md) - [Tiny Washing Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-washing-machine.md) - [Display-Equipped Vacuum Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blend-i-vacuum-cleaner.md) - [Two-in-One Rechargeable Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appliance-concept.md) - [Spinning Desk Sharpeners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferfereh.md) - [Modular Handheld Home Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circulab.md) - [Reimagined Sculptural Vacuum Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doric-vacuum-cleaner.md) - [Steampunk Desktop Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3in1-desk.md) - [Minimalist Eco-Friendly Ice Shavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-shaver-concept.md)
