The 'Extend Silicone Speaker' is a device that can go anywhere with you and be attached virtually anywhere you want. Departing from the traditional model that most [portable speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniroll) use, this speaker uses a [tactile surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-grip) to allow for such flexibility. The shape is modeled after a droplet of water, referencing its ability to be extremely malleable to any situation. Using a [protective silicone skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-bluetooth-speaker1), and a very long installation cord, it can be placed anywhere and held in place in a variety of positions. Developed by designers Huang Gaoxiang, Cao Xia, Mo Yuezhe, and Wang Li, this speaker can be attached to your bike for a ride, brought to a party or even hung in your room as a showpiece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flexible Speakers:** The Extend Silicone Speaker introduces a new trend of speakers that can be attached virtually anywhere. - **Versatile Audio Devices:** The Extend Silicone Speaker showcases the trend of audio devices that are not limited to a specific location and can be used in various situations. - **Malleable Sound Systems:** The Extend Silicone Speaker represents the emerging trend of sound systems that are extremely adaptable and can be molded to fit any situation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The Extend Silicone Speaker presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the consumer electronics industry by redefining portable audio devices. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The Extend Silicone Speaker opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the outdoor recreation industry by providing a portable and versatile audio solution for activities such as biking and camping. - **Home Decor:** The Extend Silicone Speaker offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor industry by combining functionality and aesthetics, allowing users to hang the speaker as a stylish showpiece. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rolling Pentagonal Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-speaker-concept.md) - [Adaptable Kitchen Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chord-kitchen-speaker.md) - [Building Block Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Modular Audio Immersion Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-speaker.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Balanced Uneven Surface Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paava-portable-speaker.md) - [Geometric Foldable Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentatonic-1.md) - [Vibrating Wearable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-wearable-speaker.md) - [Dice-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominote-speaker.md)
