Charged Creation

Products inspired by batteries speak to society's dependence on digital goods

Implications - Most of today's tech-savvy consumers cannot go an hour, let alone a minute, without using some gadget or tech device. Attached to our mobile devices, especially, we are increasingly becoming depending on digital technology, which further translates into a dependence on batteries. Hence, creative product designers are using the image of the battery as influence for non-chargeable items, such as kitchenware and packaging, which are as quirky and novel as they are stunningly symbolic of our alarming digital fixation.
Trend Themes
1. Symbolic Packaging - Designers are using symbols of daily usage like batteries, to add more personality to everyday products.
2. Quirky Imagery - Products with quirky designs and unusual shapes are gaining popularity as they stand out from typical ones.
3. Novel Packaging - Innovative packaging designs provide aesthetically pleasing products to users along with the primary functions of the product.
Industry Implications
1. Industrial Design - Industrial designers can capitalize on the new trend of quirky product designs to add more personality to everyday products.
2. Packaging - Packaging designers can use unusual designs to give a fresh look to the familiar products.
3. Food and Beverages - The food and beverage industry can take inspiration from the battery-inspired packaging designs to invent new quirky food packaging designs.
