Porsche Design has had a hand in some interesting projects to say the least. They have designed everything from an Olympic medal winning sled to the 28' Feerless Yacht. It's safe to say that a large majority of the products made in conjunction with Porsche Design are high on the cool factor. However, the C SEED 201 LED TV is off the charts ridiculously cool. The video below is hosted by Brightcove. As a result, it's Flash based. If you can't view it via email or on your mobile device, visit this post on the C SEED 201 LED TV designed by Porsche Design to view it directly on our site.
According to an article in Elite Traveler Magazine,
"In its initial state, C SEED 201, the world’s largest outdoor television, is a flattened piece of concealed black metal in a circular hole in the ground. Its transformation takes place in 40 silent seconds, as a tower and seven panels emerge from the outlet and unfold like a steel origami structure. The result is a 15 foot adjustable pillar that supports a sleek, 201-inches LED screen. Global Bright Group, which specializes in LED screens, partnered with Porsche Design Studio to ensure that high luminosity images are clearly viewable despite direct sunlight.
The waterproof TV can be custom installed in any terraced or grass surface. A 270-degree rotation, three-way audio system including 15 speakers and wireless remote control make viewing convenient from any angle or distance."
I'm quite sure I haven't wanted something this bad since we had to give back the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S press car last fall. At a reported price tag of $810,000, I'll be wanting for a long, long time...

I have now having a really hard time after reading this PURIST in deciding between the C SEED 201 and ordering a new 918.
Dan,
If money were no object you could watch the TV in your garage while sitting in you 918.
how do i obtain a t shirt with the Porsche Purist logo on it? If it does not exist , it would be very popular if it did. Thanks Steve Newnes.
Hey, Steve,
We’re currently out of shirts. A new batch will be ordered in early September. What size are you? We’ll make sure to reach out when then new ones are in.
I can see the C Seed in the municipal parks across the country. Movie nights for retired people one evening. Married with children another evening. We are always looking to entertain our Teens in group settings. These Evenings in the Park could certainly be a Mainstreet event that would attract young and old alike. Where better to plant a “Seed” than in a park! Tax dollars are tight,but if any one should be looking for a tax write off, I’m just dreaming! Wow!
