Teenage Engineering founder and CEO Jesper Kouthoofd told Highsnobiety that the company plans to stop making synthesizers, including the iconic OP-1 launched in 2011. This decision follows a reorganization last fall when he informed his team of the shift.

Kouthoofd explained that while the company is also a design firm collaborating with brands like Ikea and Nothing, its products are primarily music-focused. He stated that for Teenage Engineering, "the products aren’t the business," suggesting they can be more than just hardware makers.

Teenage Engineering did not immediately return a request for comment regarding these plans.
