i for one really like this, and as someone who works with raw logs every day, I can really appreciate the natural material, and the energy it takes to make it into finished lumber. looks beautiful. any chance there’ll be smaller ones for us apartment dwellers?
WHHHHATTTTTT! Great inspiration!
Why a whole tree?
– you need more wood and energy if you want to produce a speaker in that size and sound quality. thats why we reduced the entire design to the minimum which was a tree – one normal tree can be used for 3 iTrees and the saw dust is used to heat the carpenter’s workshop space. All the materials and the craftmanship is done in a little region in south east Styria, Austria. All the creation of value stays in this region.
– we left the cable there otherwise people where thinking its a photo montage (there was a lot of internal studio discussion)

I love this tree, don’t mind the power cord. If you build a convntional speaker system you have the same problems – wood, paint, plastic materials!!! I absolutely agree to do such a thing from a renewable source – beside that it is beautiful! (Excuse my english, I am not a native speaker)
I dont like to be negative, but this looks like a really bad idea.
– A whole tree? That cant be efficient.
– Your “design” is just a tree! Didn’t do anything to emphasize natural beauty.
– Didnt allow space for battery to remove ugly cord.
– iPod just looks stuck on. Could have dedicated a knot in the wood to creat hierarchy.
One tree one I Pod – ??? Let’s cut the forest for a good cause !
too bad the power cord in the shot ruins the whole cool idea.
