# Design Meets Technology Marcel Wanders Takes His Shot at Stereos By Design Crack | Published 2007-03-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-designer-marcel-wanders-takes-his-shot-at-stereos References: [designcrack](http://designcrack.com/v2/2007/03/26/pandora-and-egg-by-he-and-marcel-wanders/) & [he-marcelwanders](http://www.he-marcelwanders.com) There are a bunch of products I've featured by Marcel Wanders in the past. There's the Microwave with the TV in the door. Then there was the City System Shelving for Mooi. All, beautiful stuff. But this is the first design that I could actually use in my home and could afford to buy. Well what is it, you ask. It's hard to tell from the pictures, I know. It's a [kick ass stereo system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braque) designed for Holland Electro! The sub-woofer is called [Pandora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pandora-ai). Maybe because it's in a box? The sub-woofer doubles as a side table and is accompanied by two “Eggs”, as HE calls them, which are remote speakers which receive their signal via Bluetooth. No more messy wires for that stereo. Because of it's compact and subtle design, this would seem to be the perfect gift for the zen minimalist who likes to rock out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Design Meets Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of design and technology to create aesthetically pleasing and functional products. - **Affordable Home Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop affordable home electronics that offer high-quality performance and stylish design. - **Wireless Audio Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create wireless audio solutions that eliminate the need for messy wires and provide a seamless user experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the consumer electronics industry by creating products that merge design and technology. - **Furniture and Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine furniture and home decor with technology to offer unique and functional products. - **Audio Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink traditional audio equipment by incorporating wireless technology and sleek design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Art Piece Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totem-rr231.md) - [Sleek Cubic Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bredaquaranta-totem-by-mario-bellini-for-brionvega.md) - [Digital Analog Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-hifi.md) - [Artistic Wall-Mounted Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beogram-remaster.md) - [Connected Retro Design Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruark-r140-sound-system.md) - [Minimalist Wireless Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-wireless-speaker.md) - [Landmark-Resembling Floor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-standing-wireless.md) - [Modular Speaker Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-modular-sound.md) - [Future-Proof Luxurious Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a5-portable-speaker.md)
