The speaker is achieved with only a few materials including laser-cut MDF, engineered bamboo and plasma-cut mild steel. The coverings are easy to remove thanks to eight magnets affixed into the housing, which offer access to the internal components and even allow for customization with a different grille. The conceptual 'BRICK' Speaker features a [minimalist industrial design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brutalist-speaker) accented by a touch of natural warmth thanks to the bamboo material. The portable audio device speaks to a larger movement in the technology market to satisfy consumers looking to perform their own repairs and keep equipment for longer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Speaker Designs:** Designing speakers that can be repaired and customized by the user for a more sustainable use. - **DIY Speaker Customization:** Encouraging users to customize and modify the design of their speakers to their liking, allowing for personalization and ownership. - **Natural Material Integration:** Incorporating natural and eco-friendly materials into the design of speakers. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Technology:** Developing sustainable and customizable speakers to satisfy consumers looking for long-lasting products. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Incorporating natural and biodegradable materials into the design of products, contributing to the circular economy. - **DIY and Repair Market:** Catering to the growing demand for products that can be customized and repaired by the user themselves, empowering the consumer and reducing waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Repairable 3D-Printed Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maker-hardware-ttd3000.md) - [Building Block Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Eco‑modular Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynd-speaker.md) - [Job Site-Ready Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-aurras-speaker-concept.md) - [Dice-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominote-speaker.md) - [Edgy Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutalist-speaker.md) - [Ultra-Thin Chromatic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diyr-speaker.md) - [Swappable Component Floor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loudt-musegg.md) - [Modular Stacking Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackable-speaker.md)
