The Koostik wood [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magsafe-iphone-stand) speaker system is a funky combination of wood from maple and walnut trees. You have got to love the marriage between technology and nature that a product like the Koostik wood iPhone speaker system allows for. Now all I need to do is download some bird calls into my iTunes to finish the deal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nature-tech Fusion:** The Koostik wood iPhone speaker system shows opportunity for companies to combine natural materials and modern technology to create new innovative products. - **Original Sound Docks:** Koostik creates an opportunity for sound dock companies to differentiate themselves by producing unique and visually appealing products. - **DIY Speaker Systems:** The Koostik's use of simple, natural materials also provides an opportunity for DIY enthusiasts to create their own speaker systems. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Equipment:** The Koostik creates a space for innovation in the audio equipment industry by introducing natural materials and unique designs. - **Home Decor:** The use of natural materials in the Koostik opens up new opportunities for companies to create home decor products with an environmentally conscious approach. - **Handmade Goods:** The handmade aspect of the Koostik also provides an opportunity for companies in the handmade goods industry to focus on creating unique and eco-friendly products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Bird-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdinspired-speaker.md) - [Mushroom-Core Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycoaudio.md) - [High-End Design Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magsafe-iphone-stand.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md) - [Nature-Inspired Calming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whistle-speaker.md) - [Stealthy Multifunctional Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eko-system.md) - [Timber Technology Power Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-charging-station.md) - [Wine Bottle-Resembling Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-echo.md)
