Everyday Energy

Everyday items come with energy-generating capabilities

Trend - Everyday items are designed with the power to generate energy. Whether they’re wearable or implemented in standard architecture and interior design concepts, the shift speaks to the conscious move toward more sustainable lifestyles.

Insight - Consumer understanding of environmental impact is growing as activists and global strikes drive awareness and as we engage in more conversations -- on social media or in person. This is motivated as concrete evidence of climate change floods the news -- from melting glaciers to burning forests. Eager to help counter the implications of this threat, consumers are beginning to gradually shift their lifestyles with a sustainable twist.
Workshop Question - Consider how your brand could create energy-generating functions in its products, or within its workplace.
Trend Themes
1. Everyday Energy-generating Items - The trend of everyday items designed with power to generate energy addresses a growing consumer understanding of environmental impact and motivates a shift towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
2. Human-powered Eco Gyms - Eco-friendly gyms, such as London's Terra Hale, offering pay-as-you-go classes for the eco- and health-conscious consumers, are challenging traditional energy-consuming gyms.
3. Kinetic Energy-generating Home Accessories - Home accessories, such as Tom Dixon's slick stainless steel 'Cage' scent diffuser, with a candle turbine that generates energy kinetically, are becoming an innovative trend in home decor.
Industry Implications
1. Alternative Energy - The trend of everyday items and objects generating energy has the potential to disrupt the alternative energy industry by revolutionizing the way energy is produced and consumed.
2. Smart Home Technology - Clean energy-generating tables and home accessories that integrate innovative technology, such as Bluetooth speakers, wireless chargers, and LED illumination, are driving the smart home technology industry forward.
3. Fitness & Wellness - Human-powered gyms appeal to the fitness and wellness industry by appealing to consumers that are looking for an eco-friendly workout with pay-as-you-go classes.
