It looks like an off-brand 90s gaming console to me.
As for a design I personally consider timeless… how about the Lamy 2000 fountain pen?
Gorgeous bauhaus design, and completely user disassembleable by hand with 0 tools. The body is made from Makrolon, which is fiberglass infused lexan. Feels great in the hand, with a slight warmth and texture, and practically indestructable.
Writes like a dream, too. Been in continuous production for over 60 years.

- bayindirh 4y agoI don't think Teeneage Engineering's looks is that different from Bauhaus, excluding maintainability. Lamy 2000 is built with pure Bauhaus ideals and it nailed every one of them on the head. I have many and use them constantly. I think Lamy 2000 is the only "Objectively good" fountain I have ever seen and used, and it hides its properties so well, too. It's a very understated masterpiece of design and engineering.
- TylerE 4y agoThere are three changes I’d make to it from a pragmatic standpoint, but it really is damn close to perfect Those three are: engrave the nib size somewhere visible on the nib; make it in colors besides dark grey on a regular basis; and make the ink window out of a clearer plastic. If you could actually see the ink color that’s be nice.
