The story

The Teqball was developed by Hungarians, Gábor Borsányi, Viktor Dénes Huszár and György Gattyán. The creative brainchild behind Teqball is Gábor Borsányi, who used to play football a lot on outdoor concrete ping-pong tables. Because of the horizontal design of the ping-pong table, the ball often did not bounce in a way that made the game enjoyable. Hence the realisation that if the table top were bent, the curve could help the ball get to the foot as well as make the movement of the ball more interesting. After several years of development, the inventors created the first Teqball table, intended to be a final version, in 2014, and that’s when this Hungarian success story started its world conquest.

The details

The sport was officially launched in Budapest on 18 October 2016 by Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho, one of Teqball’s ambassadors. The first Teqball World Championship was held in Budapest in 2017. Our company has accompanied the branding and product development since the invention phase of Teqball, resulting in the first X-legged Teqball ONE, designed to serve as an outdoor and indoor table for competitions. As the most important element of the brand strategy was the inventors’ dream to make Teqball an Olympic sport, the Teqball SMART and Teqball LITE tables, which can be easily stored at home or in sports halls, were developed after the competition table. SMART tables are the preferred sporting tool of competitive footballers due to their robustness, while LITE brings this new sport into everyone’s home thanks to its practical design.  In the joint development of Teqball and Co&Co, our company was responsible for the design, product development management, prototype production, packaging, branding, clothing design, installation and the design of all brand elements.

The first appeal product, the X-legged Teqball ONE, deserves a special analysis. As the company, undertaking a major role in social responsibility, also deploys its equipment in war-torn areas, recreation, post-trauma care as well as career and community building models give children an experience and opportunity. ONE is a product that will “stay on its feet” outdoors for up to 100-150 years. The construction and manufacturing process is characterised by a “long-life” approach, following the principle of slow design to create a product with a long life and the potential to establish a tradition, as opposed to fast fashion consumer goods. This makes the brand and the product iconic in sustainability trends. For this reason, we are honoured that the product range has become a Hungaricum. The 3 products have won the most prestigious international design Oscars, all 3 in the category of Most Outstanding Product: 2 Red Dot Design Awards and 1 iF Design Award.
