VOYAGER - OUR OVERARCHING PORSCHE DESIGN BRAND MESSAGE

The voyager brief was originally intended as a single seasonal theme, with a corresponding colour palette and silhouette direction. However, as the team and I continued to research and brainstorm for the project, we realized that the Voyager story carried a significance that had reach beyond a single season.

In fact, Voyager has evolved into a mantle message for the brand identity as a whole. Travel and adventure are legends already braided into the Porsche Design sportscar DNA. What makes Porsche Design’s travel identity distinct is a sleek, clean and modernist slant, with a sharp eye to the future. Where other travel brands carry a markedly traditional travel DNA, Porsche Design is a travel brand for tomorrow. We believe that the core heritage of the brand is built around function, speed and travel. The brand shall be both futurist and timeless. The most successful Iconic Porsche Design products have all some- how translated this modern era thinking into a beautiful vision of the future, hence our go forward brand mantle message: The Voyager.

We shall focus our design efforts on the creation of super contemporary "Travel Objects". When walking into our stores, the consumer should see a clear, pragmatic and optimistic message that relates to their busy lives in the most aspirational way.

Our products shall not only be sleek and innovative, they shall also offer multiple functions that bring ease and comfort to the consumer, hence the signature luxury of Porsche Design.

VOYAGER - OWN RETAIL BRAND EXPERIENCE

Even as direct to consumer selling has overtaken turnover at many traditional brick and mortar stores, we are convinced that physical own retail stores are an indispensable brand contact point for our customers.

The Porsche Design retail stores shall immediately communicate the modernity and futurism of the brand. Interior architecture and fixture design will transport the customer to a “space odyssey” of sorts, with every detail breathing the technological ingenuity of the brand and its products. Indeed, Porsche Design sells a rare portfolio of merchandise which includes computers, electronics, watches, leather goods as well as fashion and performance apparel: a diverse range products are nevertheless highly interlinked.

Our ambition is that the stores shall offer a transporting and emotional customer experience.
