# Woofer Speakers by Cultivate By Design Crack | Published 2007-02-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woofer-speakers-by-cultivate References: [designcrack](http://designcrack.com/v2/2006/11/22/dutch-design-week-2006-woofer-speakers-by-cultivate/) & [cultivate.nl](http://www.cultivate.nl) CULTIVATE is a design house that, as many Dutch designers do, explores the extreme edges of puns. They are very toung-and-cheek with their designs. The “Woofer” speakers push the puns way over the top into being a cultish kitsch gem. The woofer speakers are built in the shape of the original woofers: dogs. The dog they have emulated for the speaker box is a pug. The pug has, unfortunately, had his head cut off, and a speaker placed in its neck hole. I've never thought I'd say this about speakers, but they are cute and cuddley. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pun-inspired Designs:** Opportunity to create unique and humorous products that appeal to consumers looking for playful and witty designs. - **Cultish Kitsch:** Opportunity to tap into the niche market of consumers who appreciate and actively seek out quirky and unconventional products. - **Animal-shaped Technology:** Opportunity to develop innovative products that combine technology and the aesthetic appeal of animal-inspired designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create unconventional and eye-catching electronic devices that stand out in the market. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to offer unique and conversation-starting home decor items that cater to consumers seeking distinctive and whimsical pieces. - **Gift and Novelty:** Opportunity to disrupt the gift and novelty industry by creating fun and surprising products that make memorable gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Edgy Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutalist-speaker.md) - [Whimsically Designed Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-for-ara-fs1-and-fs2.md) - [Minimal Elegant Desktop Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoan-desktop.md) - [Mushroom-Core Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycoaudio.md) - [Job Site-Ready Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-aurras-speaker-concept.md) - [Furniture-Shaped Speaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eversolo-se100-speakers.md) - [Minimalist See-Through Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witalogy-speaker.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Structural Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agnes-speaker.md) - [Architecturally Influenced Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brutalist-speaker.md)
