Teenage Engineering has unveiled a new field desk, but they’ve also unveiled a pretty big price tag for it…<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teenage Engineering<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, that notorious brand known for making great synth modu<\/a>l<\/a>es<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, pocket operators<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and amazing loudspeakers, seems to be venturing into a new market that doesn’t involve any electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teenage Engineering’s \u00a31,600 field desk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Their newest product is a field desk that the developer has described as a “space truss”. MusicTech<\/a><\/strong><\/span> reports that it’s built with 75% recycled CIRCAL aluminum from Scandinavian manufacturer Hydro and assembled with double-sided Formica birch plywood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just a glance at the online images, it’s clear for everyone to see that the desk looks incredibly simple, although its price tag of \u00a31,600 doesn’t reflect this whatsoever. But if you take a closer look at its specifications then that rather large price tag seems to hold a little more substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new field desk seems to be the very first product that Teenage Engineering has released from their newest Field Rail System. Teenage Engineering describes this as “an open-ended range of interconnecting aluminum rails that enable the creation of customizable modular furniture and accessories”. With this in mind, I think it’s very safe to assume that this new field desk, which seems to be nothing more than eleven aluminum poles holding up a plywood board, is designed to hold other modular objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
