It's Teenage Engineering. None of their stuff is cheap, and you're paying mainly for the aesthetic.
They make high quality stuff. I have an OP-1 synthesizer. It's not just good looking, it's an amazingly innovative and fun device.
For something like a PC case, there's already a LOT of options in aesthetics, so asking for nearly $200 for a case (that, as pointed out, you have to assemble yourself!) is a bit much to swallow. $200 gets you basically the highest end case in ANY look that you want. Perhaps not this 'unique', but you have a plethora of options.
tech products seem to always fall into one of two camps: - made by an evil society-destroying corporation - sold out forever
I mean...neat? But the price is insane. £195 for a very basic case that you have to assemble yourself?
I think anyone complaining about the price is missing something. Anything produced in small quantities will be expensive and I wouldn’t even assume they themselves thinks this product is gonna be profitable. I suspect a lot of the projects TE puts out is more about showcasing their design language to then be able to do collaborations with other brands like IKEA who can take a product to a broader market.

180mm, dual slot only gpu. That eliminates a bunch of gpus on the market. I guess they're targeting this at not gamers that build pcs?
Re: mini itx cases, I'm surprised no one is mentioning the meshlicious case[1] (linking to Newegg because ssupd's website seems to always be so slow). The nice thing about this case is that it comes with a pcie riser allowing for some pretty large GPUs to fit in it. [1] https://www.newegg.com/black-ssupd-meshlicious-mini-itx/p/2A...
