At the push of a button, a process begins. It takes 45 seconds to complete. What starts as a minimal, sculptural object unfolds with engineered precision, revealing a screen that measures up to 137 inches. This is the C SEED BUGATTI N1, a collaboration that translates a hyper sports car's design philosophy into a piece of kinetic architecture for the home.
Engineered and manufactured in Austria, the Bugatti N1 is the result of a partnership with C SEED. In its closed state, the unit presents as a refined sideboard. Its form is guided by the carmaker's principle of ‘Art, Forme, Technique’, with clean surfaces and balanced proportions. The design itself draws from the iconic ‘C-line’ that defines the side profile of Bugatti’s cars.
Form and Function
The concept is directly inspired by the Bugatti Tourbillon and its ‘screen detox’ approach. The N1 is designed to integrate into a living space, interacting with light and architecture rather than imposing itself. Only when activated does it reveal its function. The unfolding is a choreographed, multi-stage movement, driven by a center-sliding mechanism that ensures a perfectly balanced motion.
When fully open, the display is a 4K MicroLED screen, available in 110-inch and 137-inch sizes. The use of MicroLED MiP technology provides deep blacks and high contrast while maintaining energy efficiency and generating minimal heat. C SEED’s patented Adaptive Gap Calibration works with HDR10+ and a specialized screen coating to create a seamless, low-glare viewing experience.
