Carbon Fiber, Wood, Metal, Glass, Epoxy, etc: What ascetics do you like best in your setup? (alien.top)

I'm taking a break from my usual work to focus on this interest of passion.
I want to design some high end accessories around Headphones/Audio-gear. Stands, Storage, Upgraded/custom parts, etc.

If it were me, I'd say something that looks like a exotic car part, in carbon fiber would make for a sick looking headphone/amp stand... but, I have eccentric tastes. I know things like RGB and Epoxy-Wood are trendy these days. or Maybe a more subtle/refined style is key.
I can't get started until I decide what materials I will be working with, so I'd love to hear what vibes my peers have in these ways!

TLDR:

If you have or could imagine having a life style, where you own some very elite audio gear, what would the supporting setup be made of and the the vibe you'd want for it?

I love wood, copper, brass, bronze, generally anything brown/orange, I love for some tan ear pads.

ZMFs epoxy wood cups do look amazing but they aren't really a timeless design where walnut or zebrawood are, It's why I bought my T60RPs as the walnut cups are just warm and comfy. That said my SR325x are silver and purple.
