Lol so you can keep your operators away from the Corona germs. Silly company at TE.

Well your studio obviously isn’t inside a violent Scandinavian waterfall

It’s pretty self-indulgent, not sure it’s taking the piss. They just like making stuff that’s a bit different. I’m glad TE exist and they get a pass from me forever for creating the OP-1.

It’s not like it’s even a beautiful design. Resembles one of these…


Or these…

I love TE. The OP1 goes everywhere with me, but I think this is more than a bit of a misfire.

if they had used some kind of ocean recycled plastics and such materials I bet the shitstorm would be much smarter or at least just concentrating on the price.

people are raging on Insta right now and I can understand why.

a design company should always design the future and enter new territory’s of manufacturing.

the splash bag is really just for presenting the products and if it was seen at MOMA or elsewhere I bet some would’ve asked for it, but the price tag tho…and is it really waterproof?

like water- waterproof for minutes?

Yeah, was gonna post a picture of her dead on the floor but it came off a bit tasteless and probably sexist, so I went for the action figure instead.

You can buy these in the pound shop/dollar store.

Edit: LMAO I just saw the price! £190.

You could buy a oversize Gucci T-shirt for less and add some fuzzy grips.

ready for the meme thread.

people are also super picky about the “workwear” which is also high priced these days.

i grabbed the limited original TE work shirt from cheap Monday for 25£ in London as the’ve had an exhibition there some years ago. it’s the black one with the TE logo on the chest and Teenage Engineering written on the back. I luv that shirt

Two for £6

They’re selling the parts separately too, only €55 for a transparent pencil case that fits an op1 nicely.
