Authentic Porsche 997.1 911 Leather Seating
TWO AVAILABLE
EACH INDIVIDUALLY COMMISSIONED · EACH BECOMES 1 OF 1
THERE ARE PORSCHES.
AND THEN THERE IS THE 911.
For more than six decades, one silhouette has remained unmistakable.
Round headlights.
Sloping roof.
Engine behind the driver.
Two primary seats and a machine engineered around an idea Porsche has spent generations perfecting rather than abandoning.
The 911.
And among modern 911 generations, the 997 has become something particularly special.
Classic round headlights returned.
Beautifully compact proportions.
Hydraulic steering.
An interior from before screens began taking over the automobile.
Modern enough to drive every day.
Old-school enough to remind you why you wanted a Porsche in the first place.
And this is where its driver sat.
THIS ISN'T PORSCHE-INSPIRED FURNITURE.
These are authentic Porsche 997.1 911 seats.
Not replicas.
Not generic office chairs upholstered to look vaguely German.
Not furniture with a Porsche badge attached afterward.
They actually spent their first lives inside a Porsche 911.
Now we're giving them their second.
Behind your desk.
YOU DON'T NEED TO OWN A 997.
Actually, you don't even need to own a 911.
Maybe you drive a 356.
A 964.
A 993.
A 996.
A 991.
A 992.
A Cayman.
A Boxster.
A Cayenne.
A Panamera.
A Taycan.
Maybe your Porsche is air-cooled.
Maybe it's brand new.
Maybe you've owned seven.
Maybe you're still looking for your first.
THE SEAT DOESN'T HAVE TO MATCH YOUR PORSCHE.
IT HAS TO MATCH YOUR PASSION FOR PORSCHE.
The 997.1 is its provenance.
Porsche is the reason you want to sit in it.
YOU WORKED FOR THE PORSCHE.
NOW WORK IN THE PORSCHE.
There's an unfortunate irony to owning a Porsche.
You probably spend considerably more time working than driving it.
Eight hours behind your desk.
Ten.
Sometimes twelve.
Meanwhile, the Porsche waits.
Rain.
Snow.
Salt.
Traffic.
Airports.
Meetings.
Life.
Your Porsche can't always come to work with you.
BUT PART OF IT CAN.
You worked for the Porsche.
You chose the Porsche.
You maintain the Porsche.
And whenever possible, you drive the Porsche.
So when you can't drive it...
why go back to sitting in something ordinary?
PORSCHE BUILT THE SEAT.
AUTOSTUHL BUILDS EVERYTHING BENEATH IT.
Putting an authentic 911 seat onto a bargain imported office-chair base would be absurd.
So we don't.
AutoStuhl creates a substantial purpose-built fabricated steel foundation beneath it.
Heavy-duty casters.
Engineered mounting.
Individually fabricated components.
Careful finishing.
Hand assembly.
Because Porsche people understand something particularly well:
THE PART YOU CAN'T SEE STILL MATTERS.
The foundation should deserve the seat.
THEN SOMEBODY WALKS INTO YOUR OFFICE.
They notice it.
Something isn't quite normal.
The proportions.
The bolsters.
The leather.
The unmistakably automotive architecture.
A Porsche person may recognize it immediately.
Then comes the question:
“WAIT...IS THAT ACTUALLY A 911 SEAT?”
Yes.
997.1.
Authentic Porsche.
AutoStuhl built everything around it.
Now we're having a considerably more interesting conversation than:
"Nice office chair."
MAKE IT ABOUT YOUR PORSCHE.
This is where the donor model becomes secondary.
Your AutoStuhl can be commissioned with bespoke laser-cut stainless steel Signature Panels designed specifically around you.
Your Porsche's silhouette.
Your VIN.
Your model designation.
Your racing number.
Your company logo.
Your family crest.
Your initials.
Your signature.
The year of your first Porsche.
A meaningful date.
A favorite road.
A favorite verse.
Or the Porsche you sold twenty years ago and still haven't forgiven yourself for.
THE SEAT DOESN'T HAVE TO COME FROM YOUR PORSCHE.
THE FINISHED AUTOSTUHL CAN STILL TELL ITS STORY.
That's much more personal than matching model numbers.
TWO SEATS.
TWO DIFFERENT STORIES.
We have exactly two authentic Porsche 997.1 seats available.
One carries beautifully preserved leather and is offered at:
The driver's seat carries visible wear from its original automotive life.
We aren't hiding it.
We aren't pretending it isn't there.
And we're not necessarily convinced it's a bad thing.
It is evidence of Chapter One.
Same Porsche provenance.
Same AutoStuhl craftsmanship.
Same bespoke personalization.
Just a little more history written into the leather.
SOME PEOPLE WILL WANT THE PERFECT ONE.
SOME WILL WANT THE ONE WITH THE STORY.
A brand-new piece of leather has never been anywhere.
This one has.
Someone climbed into it.
Started a Porsche.
Selected first.
Watched the tachometer.
Put miles behind them.
We don't know those stories, so we won't invent them.
But the leather tells us something happened.
For one collector, the cleaner seat will obviously be the choice.
For another?
THE DRIVER'S SEAT MAY ACTUALLY BE THE MORE INTERESTING ONE.
Because character can't be ordered from a factory.
It has to be earned.
EACH BECOMES 1 OF 1.
There are two donor seats.
There will not be two identical AutoStuhls.
Your Porsche seat.
Your configuration.
Your Signature Panels.
Your commission number.
Your Certificate of Provenance.
Your story.
When completed:
EACH IS AN INDIVIDUAL 1-OF-1 COMMISSION.
BUILT TO BE USED.
Don't put it behind a rope.
Sit in it.
Work in it.
Take meetings in it.
Read in it.
Think in it.
Build something in it.
Put it behind your executive desk.
In your home office.
Your boardroom.
Your study.
Your automotive collection.
Or beside the Porsche.
This is functional automotive art.
And unlike your 911...
THERE'S NO REASON TO WORRY ABOUT PUTTING MILES ON IT.
Use it every damn day.
