Porsche Design proclaims white is the new black – 03/04/08

All white: Porsche Design leather bag


GERMANY. Porsche Design, famous for its all-black products, is launching a collection completely in white which will be available in Porsche Design stores from May 2008.

The collection combines the colour white with materials such as aluminium, titanium and stainless steel for a technical look. Products include a mobile phone, jacket, sunglasses, pen, leathergoods, jewellery and lighters.

Porsche Design Studio Managing Director Roland Heiler explained why the company had broken away from its typical black designs: “The colour white stands for purity and also has the property that it highlights the shape of the product. These characteristics also make white an excellent medium for our minimalist design language.”

Porsche Mobile Phone: The mobile phone, initially made in a combination of aluminium and black, is now available in a variant of aluminium and white. Its unique production method – it is made out of a solid aluminium block – and fingerprint sensor for user identification are its main features.
