AUTOSTUHL PORSCHE
THE STUTTGART EDITION
YOU CAN'T DRIVE YOUR PORSCHE ALL DAY.
BUT YOU CAN SIT IN ONE.
Authentic Porsche 997/987 Black Leather Sport Seating
INDIVIDUALLY COMMISSIONED
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH OWNING A PORSCHE.
You don't get to drive it enough.
A recent analysis of vehicle mileage found that the average Porsche 911 is driven only about 3,850 miles per year.
That's roughly 74 miles a week.
Meanwhile, how many hours do you spend working?
Forty?
Fifty?
Sixty?
That's the irony.
You worked hard enough to own the Porsche.
You carefully chose the car.
The model.
The color.
The options.
The wheels.
The interior.
You appreciate the engineering every time you get behind the wheel.
Then Monday morning arrives...
and you spend the next eight or ten hours sitting in an office chair.
WE THINK THERE'S A BETTER ARRANGEMENT.
DRIVE PORSCHE.
WORK PORSCHE.
The AutoStuhl Stuttgart Edition begins with an authentic Porsche black leather Sport Seat from the 997/987 era.
The 997-generation 911 has become a particularly admired chapter in Porsche history.
Classic round headlights returned.
Hydraulic steering.
Flat-six engines.
Beautifully restrained proportions.
An interior that still feels intimate and unmistakably Porsche.
The same era gave us the 987 Boxster and Cayman, including the introduction of the Cayman as Porsche's wonderfully balanced mid-engine coupe.
Today, Porsche itself includes these generations within Porsche Classic.
And this is where their drivers sat.
DON'T ASK IF IT MATCHES YOUR PORSCHE.
ASK IF IT MATCHES YOU.
This is important.
You don't need to own a 997.
You don't need to own a 987.
You don't need to own the same generation, model, year or color.
THAT'S MISSING THE POINT.
Maybe you own a 356.
A 911.
A 964.
A 993.
A 996.
A 997.
A 991.
A 992.
A Boxster.
A Cayman.
A Cayenne.
A Panamera.
A Taycan.
Maybe there's a GT3 in the garage.
Maybe your Porsche is forty years old.
Maybe you're waiting for the right one.
It doesn't matter.
The seat doesn't have to match your Porsche.
IT HAS TO MATCH YOUR PASSION FOR PORSCHE.
This isn't a replacement part for your automobile.
It's an AutoStuhl.
Its Porsche provenance is what connects it to you.
YOUR CAR STAYS IN THE GARAGE.
YOUR PORSCHE DOESN'T HAVE TO.
Rain.
Snow.
Traffic.
Salt.
Work.
Kids.
Meetings.
Airports.
Life.
There are a thousand reasons your Porsche spends more time parked than you'd like.
But there's no reason your appreciation for it has to stay in the garage with the car.
Imagine walking into your office tomorrow morning.
Black Porsche leather.
Sculpted Porsche Sport Seat.
The unmistakable proportions.
Your own Signature Panels beside it.
You sit down.
Open the laptop.
Start the day.
YOUR COMMUTE MAY BE OVER.
THE PORSCHE PART DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.
PORSCHE BUILT THE SEAT.
AUTOSTUHL BUILDS EVERYTHING BENEATH IT.
We don't take an authentic Porsche Sport Seat and bolt it onto a cheap imported office-chair base.
That would miss the entire point.
AutoStuhl builds a substantial purpose-designed fabricated steel foundation underneath it.
Heavy-duty casters.
Engineered mounting.
Individually fabricated components.
Careful finishing.
Hand assembly.
Why?
Because Porsche people notice details.
They understand engineering.
They understand why the part nobody sees can matter every bit as much as the part everybody does.
THE FOUNDATION SHOULD DESERVE THE SEAT.
We suspect Ferdinand Porsche would have understood the sentiment.
THE BEAUTY OF BLACK PORSCHE LEATHER.
It doesn't scream.
It doesn't need to.
Black Porsche leather has the same characteristic that makes so much Porsche design timeless:
RESTRAINT.
The shape does the work.
The bolsters.
The proportions.
The stitching.
The architecture.
Put it behind walnut.
Glass.
Steel.
Stone.
Concrete.
Inside a traditional office.
Inside a modern one.
Beside an automotive collection.
It belongs.
And then somebody looks twice.
“WAIT...IS THAT ACTUALLY A PORSCHE SEAT?”
Yes.
That's the fun part.
Someone walks into your office.
They see an extraordinary chair.
Something about it looks familiar.
A Porsche person may recognize it immediately.
Others simply know that it doesn't look like anything they've seen at an office-furniture store.
Then:
“IS THAT ACTUALLY FROM A PORSCHE?”
Yes.
Authentic Porsche Sport Seat.
AutoStuhl built everything around it.
And those stainless steel panels?
Those were created specifically for me.
Now we're having a considerably more interesting conversation than:
"Nice office chair."
MAKE IT ABOUT YOUR PORSCHE.
This is where we deal with the Porsche purist properly.
Your AutoStuhl doesn't have to come from your particular Porsche.
WE CAN MAKE IT ABOUT YOUR PARTICULAR PORSCHE.
Our bespoke laser-cut stainless steel Signature Panels can incorporate:
Your Porsche's silhouette.
Your model designation.
Your VIN.
Your racing number.
The year of your first Porsche.
Your company's logo.
Your family crest.
Your initials.
Your signature.
A favorite road.
A meaningful date.
A personal motto.
Or the Porsche you owned twenty years ago and still wish you'd never sold.
Imagine owning a classic 911 and having its silhouette precision-cut into the stainless steel panel of your AutoStuhl.
The seat may have begun in a 997.
THE FINISHED CHAIR TELLS YOUR STORY.
That's considerably more interesting than simply matching model numbers.
FOR THE 356 OWNER.
THE 911 OWNER.
THE CAYMAN OWNER.
THE PERSON WHO JUST LOVES PORSCHE.
Porsche enthusiasm has never been limited to one model.
The 356 started something.
The 911 turned it into an icon.
The 914 challenged convention.
The 928 reinvented the grand tourer.
The Boxster brought the mid-engine roadster back.
The Cayman demonstrated just how good that architecture could become.
The Cayenne proved Porsche DNA could survive four doors and an SUV body.
The Taycan carried it somewhere entirely new.
Different cars.
Different generations.
Different arguments at Cars & Coffee.
SAME CREST.
That's what the Stuttgart Edition celebrates.
Not a chassis code.
Porsche.
YOU WORKED FOR THE PORSCHE.
NOW LET THE PORSCHE WORK FOR YOU.
There's something wonderfully backwards about this.
Most people work thousands of hours to afford the car they dream about.
Then they enjoy that car for a few hours on weekends.
So we took one of the most intimate pieces of the automobile...
the place where the driver actually sits...
and moved it to where those thousands of working hours happen.
Your office.
Perhaps the chair underneath you should remind you what all those hours are for.
ONE OF ONE.
Each Stuttgart Edition is individually commissioned.
Your authentic Porsche Sport Seat.
Your AutoStuhl foundation.
Your configuration.
Your Signature Panels.
Your commission number.
Your Certificate of Provenance.
There may be another black Porsche AutoStuhl.
There may even be another 997/987 seat.
THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER YOURS.
That's the point.
BUILT TO BE DRIVEN.
JUST WITHOUT GOING ANYWHERE.
Sit in it.
Work in it.
Take meetings in it.
Read in it.
Think in it.
Build the next company in it.
Put it behind your executive desk.
In your home office.
Your study.
Your boardroom.
Your automotive collection.
Beside the Porsche.
Or somewhere completely unexpected.
This is functional automotive art.
And there's one substantial advantage over the car:
NO MILEAGE PENALTY.
Use it every damn day.
CERTIFICATE OF PROVENANCE
Every Stuttgart Edition receives an individual AutoStuhl Certificate of Provenance documenting its second life.
Original Porsche seat provenance.
AutoStuhl commission number.
Completion date.
Configuration.
Materials and finishes.
Signature Panel artwork.
Original commission.
Because we don't want this treated like disposable office furniture.
WE WANT IT TREATED LIKE A PORSCHE.
Used.
Enjoyed.
Maintained.
And kept.
