# Eco Arboreal Consoles The Wooden Xbox by Ben Winfield Will Blow Your Mind By Marlon Franco | Published 2011-03-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-xbox References: [howgreenworks](http://www.howgreenworks.com/wooden-xbox/) & [s1212.photobucket](http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/Arteechoke/XBOX/) The Wooden Xbox, a 1:1 copy of the original Xbox from Micrososft, is an absolute must-have for gamer freaks and the eco-conscious. Sculpted by Ben Winfield, this Wooden Xbox looks like the real thing, with a carved Xbox logo, power and eject buttons, and four controller ports. What's impressive is that it comes complete with a [Wooden Xbox controller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-gamepad-1) that has a pair of moving analog sticks, which work just like the real thing. I wonder what Ben Winfield will think of next--an Xbox CD along with its case made from wood, or a video cable made from tough vines? Or perhaps Winfield will take it back a bit with an old-school [wooden Game Boy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-flip-concept). Regardless, the Wooden Xbox is enough eco-conscious cool for now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-conscious Gaming:** Opportunity for gaming companies to integrate eco-friendly materials into their products and meet the growing consumer demand for sustainable options. - **Retro Gaming Revival:** Opportunity for entrepreneurs and makers to create unique retro gaming products that capture the nostalgia of classic consoles and appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. - **Artisanal Electronics:** Opportunity for artisans and craftsmen to create handmade and unique electronic products that combine modern technology with traditional materials and techniques. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming Industry:** The gaming industry has the potential to incorporate eco-friendly materials to create products that appeal to environmentally responsible consumers and differentiate themselves from competitors. - **Handmade Electronics Industry:** The handmade electronics industry could create one-of-a-kind products made with natural materials that appeal to buyers looking for unique and sustainable products. - **Vintage Gaming Industry:** Entrepreneurs and makers in the vintage gaming industry could create unique retro gaming products that capitalize on nostalgia and the growing market for rare and collectible items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebrity-Branded Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roy-woods-capsule-collection.md) - [Personalized Artful Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nak-studio.md) - [Chocolate-Themed Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonka-xbox-series-x-console.md) - [Jade-Constructed Game Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-controller1.md) - [Smartphone-Like Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-series-a.md) - [Branded Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/branded-gaming-consoles.md) - [Gaming Console Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-xbox-x-meister-watches.md) - [Building Block Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ps-one.md) - [Translucent Game Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-3.md)
