JVC’s Sound Garden Sustainable Speaker Planters

Posted on November 1, 2008 by Matt Embrey in Concept+Design, Gear+Gadgets

This concept from JVC dubbed the Sound Garden “Kirikabu” Speakers were debuted this week at Tokyo Designer’s Week. These modular, multi-directional speakers are made of recycled and sustainable materials, like recycled sliding door casings. I’m not sure why there’s a bonsai tree growing out of it, but it does make for a cool aesthetic! Check out more pictures after the jump…

Those are really cool. I’m not even a big audiophile, but I can definitely see the appeal in these. I like the bonsai-lol. The stacked ones remind me of the little molecular “toys” we played with in Chemistry.

I know it sounds mad, but I wonder how plant growth is effected by differing styles of music!

These are so cool! I have heard that music does affect plants. Would be interesting to see in action.
