I’m taking a break from my usual work to focus on this interest of passion.
I want to design some high end accessories around Headphones/Audio-gear. Stands, Storage, Upgraded/custom parts, etc.
If it were me, I’d say something that looks like a exotic car part, in carbon fiber would make for a sick looking headphone/amp stand… but, I have eccentric tastes. I know things like RGB and Epoxy-Wood are trendy these days. or Maybe a more subtle/refined style is key.
I can’t get started until I decide what materials I will be working with, so I’d love to hear what vibes my peers have in these ways!
TLDR:
If you have or could imagine having a life style, where you own some very elite audio gear, what would the supporting setup be made of and the the vibe you’d want for it?
Favorite: Carbon
Least favorite: Wood
Aesthetically, I’m partial to bead blasted aluminum and carbon fiber finishes, with maybe some darker wood accents in the occasional spot.
I’m not a particularly big fan of leather and glass personally, nor do I like glossy plastics. Matte plastics are fine though. Functionally though, wood would probably be pretty easy to work with without requiring specialized tools and or skills.
