Designed by Kim Hyunsoec, the conceptual speaker features a dual-sided design with a speaker unit on one side and a [sculpted smartphone dock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soak) on the other. The latter enables users to simply place their Qi-enabling device down in order to charge it wirelessly in order to limit the number of devices they need on their desk, table or workstation. The 'Tilt' Speaker incorporates a clean, mode aesthetic that makes it suitable for use just about anywhere you go to instantly add a soundtrack with your favorite tunes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wireless Charging Speakers:** An opportunity to develop wireless charging speakers that can charge multiple devices at once. - **Dual-purpose Equipment:** There is potential to create more dual-purpose equipment that saves space and provides extra features. - **Sculpted Smartphone Dock:** Designing more aesthetically pleasing smartphone docks that merge functionality and design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can develop more efficient and useful products to satisfy the needs of consumers. - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers can incorporate dual-purpose equipment to make innovative and unique pieces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers could recommend the use of dual-purpose equipment in small spaces, and create aesthetically pleasing designs that incorporate technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Phone Charger-Infused Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-chargerinfused-speaker.md) - [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) - [Freestanding Smartphone Dock Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jteman-phone-stand-and-speaker.md) - [LED Bedside Wireless Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/csl.md) - [Projector-Equipped Wireless Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silo-wireless-charger-concept.md) - [Relaxing Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stem-wireless-charger-lamp.md) - [Decorative Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricharge-wireless-charger-concept.md)
