Recycled Leather Speakers

The Giacinto Sound System Comes Flat-Packed for Consumers to Build

— April 21, 2016 — Art & Design
The Giacinto leather speakers are a sound system that comes in a flat-pack design, allowing consumers to put together the multimedia device themselves. The speakers are unconventionally made from fabric rather than solid material such as plastic, metal or wood giving the devices a softer and customized aesthetic.

While most speakers come in a static and pre-made shape, the Giacinto sound system comes in pieces that the consumer puts together at home. The exterior is made from supple brown leather that clips together with tabs to assemble into a triangular shape. A mesh audio speaker where the music is broadcasted from is integrated into the leather.

The speakers can easily be taken a part and reset to be transported to new locations. The design is available in a variety of colors as well, for added style.
Trend Themes
1. Flat-pack Design - The flat-pack design trend allows consumers to assemble products themselves, creating a more interactive and personalized experience.
2. Fabric-based Speakers - The use of fabric instead of traditional materials for speakers presents opportunities for a softer and customized aesthetic, as well as potential for new audio innovations.
3. Portable Multi-color Design - The trend of portable speakers with multi-color options provides consumers with the ability to choose a device that matches their personal style and preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can take advantage of the flat-pack design trend by offering DIY assembly kits for various electronic devices.
2. Textile Manufacturing - Textile manufacturers can explore new opportunities in producing fabric-based speakers, creating unique and customizable audio products.
3. Home Decor and Accessories - The home decor and accessories industry can tap into the portable multi-color design trend by offering a range of stylish and customizable portable speakers to match consumers' home aesthetics.
