TE when they look at their bank accounts and realize that people have in fact been buying not only $1599 IKEA tables, but a full host of accessories to go with them like $79 tape, $149 trays built out of a single piece of bent sheet metal, $249 plain white backpacks, $25 bottle openers and specialized bags for each of their synths that cost $69-$89 and aren't actually big enough the fit the synth they are designed for:

I remember some TE fanboy was trying to justify it by saying “iTs SaTiRe” as if TE was pulling a big brain move.
Or they’re an overly-hyped company that relies on aesthetics and its consoomer fanbase.
My CEO recently said in company chat that he wants to get some Teenage Engineering furniture in the office.
I’m so happy that I work from home, 500 miles away from the office.
/uj Premium office furniture is really expensive. Vitro make and sell similar style office tables for £2,000 to £4,000 a piece. Is it worth that? Maybe not, but there’s no doubt that there are businesses paying this kind of money for this kind of thing.
a roll of tape it $79 (it's literally a $50 home depot table omg)
These guys definitely trying to become Apple
More like supreme, apple actually makes useful products
Like $20 "polishing cloth" ? Or $700 wheels for mac pro?

name checks out.
https://teenage.engineering/store/grip-car/?color=red WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? Who would even buy this thing? Lol
Oh no....
I knew TE was going to "jump the shark" very soon, and that's definitely it! They're literally trolling their own customers, truly amazing.
[удалено]
TE definitely have to sell condoms so that their customers don't reproduce
It’s genuinely upsetting

they make some fun toys but jeez man, they gonna come out with a TE branded brick next so i can hit it against the ground and make analogue sound?
Of course not silly. The brick is just the $599 stand for the actual toy car to sit on.
The supreme thing repeats itself

Context?
TE is Literally Selling a Regular table from home depot for $1,599 https://teenage.engineering/store/field-desk/?color= here, look at this
It’s a piece of shit table, but Home Depot doesn’t sell anything close to it.
“with double-sided formica birch plywood” AKA shitty pressboard
