Rooted in the discipline of industrial design, the company’s offering has evolved over the past eight decades to include interaction design, mechanical design and environmental design as well as research and strategy [Aircraft Interiors International “Happy Anniversary” (June 2006)] .

One of the oldest and most established design firms in the world, Teague has made an impact on consumer culture, designing any and every thing from the first Polaroid camera, to the groundbreaking 707, the Reagan-era Air Force One and the famous Microsoft Xbox.
