The JVC Sound Garden ‘Kirikabu’ speakers are currently being shown at the [Tokyo Designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundfun-mirai-speaker)’s Week exhibit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Organic Audio:** Incorporating natural elements into home audio systems can create a unique and eco-friendly listening experience for consumers. - **Modular Audio:** Modularity allows for multiple configurations and customization options for home audio systems. - **Pet-friendly Audio:** Developing audio systems that consider the needs of pets can provide a new market segment of pet owners seeking products that fit their lifestyle. ### Where This Applies - **Home Audio:** Companies can create innovative home audio products by combining organic and modular design features. - **Pet Industry:** Audio companies can tap into the pet industry by creating products specially designed to accommodate pets and their owners. - **Green Living Industry:** Incorporating plants and other natural elements into home audio systems can align with the growing trend of eco-friendliness and sustainable living. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mushroom-Core Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycoaudio.md) - [Nature-Inspired Multifunctional Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-echo.md) - [Flower Bud-Inspired Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orris-speaker-concept.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-product.md) - [Whimsically Designed Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-for-ara-fs1-and-fs2.md) - [Job Site-Ready Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-aurras-speaker-concept.md) - [Landmark-Resembling Floor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-standing-wireless.md) - [Naturalistic Outdoor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focal-littora-200-od-stone-8.md)
