FAT International has introduced a limited-edition chair ahead of the FAT Ice Race in Zell am See, Austria. The metal and aluminum piece draws inspiration from the Porsche 959's seat design and will be sold exclusively at the February 1 event.
Designer Marco Dessi led the project, incorporating racing elements into the chair's structure. The seat lines mirror those found in the Porsche 959, while maintaining everyday functionality. Christian Wieners created the decorative Porsche graphic featured on the piece, with RB Classics founder Reichert Benjamin managing production.
The chair represents FAT International's first venture into collectible items for their community, known as "FATFam". A company representative noted the piece aims to establish new traditions among their followers.
Technical specifications include:
- Full aluminum and metal construction
- Custom Porsche 959 graphic detailing
- Ergonomic design based on racing seat architecture
- Limited production run
Interested buyers can purchase the chair at the FAT Ice Race event beginning February 1 in Zell am See. FAT International has not disclosed the number of pieces available or pricing details.
The design team's background spans automotive culture and industrial design. Dessi's portfolio includes furniture for European manufacturers, while Wieners has created graphics for automotive brands. Benjamin's RB Classics specializes in vintage car restoration.
