JVC’s Sound Garden concept blends tree-hugging with design. It’s a full hi-fi speaker system with bass-reflex ports and little pot areas for your plants. (Which don’t have that much room.) And it’s all made of some wonder material called “eco-plastic”. If you want, you can connect a whole bunch together for massive sound and massive plant life. Just a concept right now, but rest assured they are working on more music/plant tech as I type this.

Porsche has the new and bizarre looking Eton Porsche P’9120 stereo system with separate iPod dock and integrated AM/FM & DAB RDS radio. It almost looks like a retro projector.
