Introducing Type 7 Volume Five, the latest in a series of editions capturing the very best of Porsche, art, culture, and architecture. This lovingly designed and highly curated coffee table book is the team’s fifth annual edition, which for the first time since the release of Type 7 Volume One was created without a collaborator - an intentional choice made in celebration of the brand’s fifth anniversary.
Produced in a limited edition, the book reflects the unwavering commitment to beautifully told stories by the Type 7 team, who half a decade after launching, and with a growth of over 600,000 followers, has established a passionate community that not only functions as a daily magazine but as a shared cultural platform, spotlighting individuals who boldly pursue their creative passions. This latest volume distills that mission into its purest form; an inspiring, meticulously crafted item that functions as a touchpoint for the future of the brand.
Arriving in a distinctive protective shipping box featuring a collage of photographs and artworks from the book within, readers will unravel the book with a uniquely-designed cardboard tear strip in the shape of the Type 7 logo, unveiling the striking orange slipcase beneath. Reflecting the five years of Type 7, five unique artworks from the creatives featured within the book were selected as covers, creating an air of unpredictability and excitement for readers as they discover which version they have received. On these striking covers, Brittany Fanning’s instantly-recognisable surrealist style features a car lazily perched on the hood of a Porsche 911, DC Shoes co-founder Damon Way’s Joy Division-inspired Porsche 944 awaits its next drive, a 911 rev limiter races towards the redline, Aiden de Cadenet’s heirloom Porsche 356 soaks in the sunset on Mulholland Drive, and a renowned historic Porsche 911 rally car attacks a stage in a historical photograph. Metallic inks and tip-in pages weave through the book, creating an experience as dynamic as the stories and rich photography within.
Once the slipcase is removed and the book is opened, Type 7 Volume Five dives deeper than ever, spotlighting globally renowned artists like Keita Morimoto, showcasing visionary architecture from the Brutalist legacy of Marcel Breuer to the modern minimalism of Not a Hotel, and exploring the enduring appeal of automotive design and culture.
