JVC’s Sound Garden Sustainable Speaker Planters

JVC Sound Garden Kirikabu Speakers

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.
