Porsche Design
What sets Porsche Design apart? The answer goes back to the idiosyncrasies of founder Ferdinand Alexander Porsche and his personal history: Born on December 11, 1935, the eldest of Dorothea and Ferry Porsche's four sons spends countless hours of his childhood in his grandfather Ferdinand's Stuttgart design office and development workshops. When the turmoil of war moves the entire family and the company to Austria in 1943, Ferdinand Alexander attends school in Zell am See. Meanwhile, father Ferry begins work on his first sports car, the Porsche 356. Ferdinand Alexander enrolls at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm before joining the family business as a designer in 1958. His first major challenge is to design the Porsche 911. This makes him the father of the legendary sports car.
In the 1960s, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche designs numerous other vehicles, above all racing cars. The early seventies, however, are a time of transition for the company. Porsche KG is transformed into a stock corporation under the name Porsche AG, and the family withdraws from operational business. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche retains his seat on the supervisory board, but is forced to give up his position as chief designer. In 1972, he founds the company Porsche Design in Stuttgart, driven more by necessity than by a promising business model.
In 1974, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche feels drawn back to his childhood home and builds the Porsche Design Studio in Zell am See. Raising more and more money does not interest him. The idea of expanding his company to include more and more external commissions is alien to him. Instead, he uses his financial independence to design products as he sees fit or wrong. The ever-increasing number of customers from the industry find a partner full of creativity, but who does not want to compromise.
Porsche Design processes exquisite and high-quality materials. Nor does it think in terms of masses and the costs of industrial production. The resulting prices of the products may scare off some customers. Lovers of the brand, on the other hand, in no case want to give up the prestige and quality guarantee that the brand "Porsche Design" gives its products. - In any case, we are very pleased to offer a selection of Porsche Design products.
