Hi guys,
The second wave of Soundbars will be available very soon.
If you would like to reserve one or show your interest, do let me know, as they are quite limited in numbers again, maybe only 5-8 units. The initial delivery of 5 units on the first wave sold in the first week.
They sound very good and obviously look amazing.
Let me know if interested.
Regards
Vinny

No offence to the OP, but something about this makes me uneasy.
It's not the item itself: had someone on here converted an old GT3 box into a soundbar, I would be impressed by their skills, amused by the satire of the sonorous re-purposing juxtaposition and supportive of their recycling principles.
But I thought Porsche Design used to be about redesigning or reimagining of a familiar object from the ground-up, with a certain Bauhaus simplicity, mostly function over form.
And definitely with their signature design cues.
It is incongruous to take a component part from a Porsche motorcar that does something else, and turn it into something it isn't.
It has no Porsche Design language, in deed, on the face of it, a rear exhaust box is actually very unattractive (because of, or causing it to be hidden under and behind a PU in its original usage)
Creepily nepotistic too.
Porsche design used to be deliberately independent of the automotive business.
For me, this is possibly the most vulgar thing PD have done.

Hi GT4,
It is a love or hate item I guess, no offence taken. It is these discussions that make the forums. The product is from our Drivers Selection range who are more geared towards the car. For the first time, it is available from Porsche Design along side the Drivers Selection range.
I have to say though, every unit in the first wave worldwide sold out.
We cannot all like the same things, that's the beauty of life..

As I said in the opener to my post, in itself, it is no bad thing (I don't dislike it, and I can see it looking cool in a Man Cave).
I just wonder what next for Porsche Design?
As Zingers suggests, perhaps a clock made from a 993 fan :?:
I just worry they have they lost their way.

2016 will be a year of change for Porsche Design as far as products, new items are being worked on, there will be a gap hence the Drivers Selection item included for the first time. We needed to keep a technology item alongside the phone.
Don't worry though, the rest of the catalogue is from the same place.
