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?

Aesthetically, I’m partial to bead blasted aluminum and carbon fiber finishes, with maybe some darker wood accents in the occasional spot.

I’m not a particularly big fan of leather and glass personally, nor do I like glossy plastics. Matte plastics are fine though. Functionally though, wood would probably be pretty easy to work with without requiring specialized tools and or skills.
