About Punkt
Headquartered in
Switzerland, Punkt. was established by Petter Neby in 2008 with the idea
of bringing a breath of fresh air into the consumer electronics market with
outstanding, timeless products designed to do their job, without intruding on
their owner’s time and attention. From the very beginning, renowned British
industrial designer Jasper Morrison was on board as the company’s art director.

stop/period’, and was chosen to symbolise the way the company’s products are
built around simplicity, clarity and focus. Punkt. launched its debut product,
the DP 01 cordless phone, in January 2011 at Maison et Objet in Paris. Since
then, the company has continued to develop stylish, carefully designed and
elegantly crafted electronics products aimed at people who want to be in charge
of the technology they buy, and who understand the importance of subtle beauty
in everyday life. The Punkt. product range includes a simple mobile phone,
a cordless landline telephone, an alarm clock, a mains extension
cable and a multiport USB desktop charger.
