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?

Plastic. High-quality plastic is durable, lightweight and feels great.

On top of that plastic can be dyed through so scratches don't show easily. They also don't get freezing cold in winter.

Good plastic is the best material for the majority of consumer electronic.

In the market I wish to target, when a product is scratched, they give it to the little people. 🤣
