Austrian high-end television manufacturer C SEED has teamed up with Bugatti to create a new version of its N1 TV. The device resembles nothing more than a sleek, modern credenza, with styling that resembles the side profile of the Bugatti Tourbillon. But turning it on causes it to transform into a massive, pedestal-mounted 110- or 137-inch display. C SEED offers a range of indoor, outdoor and marine televisions that use its folding micro-LED flat-panel technology to great effect. These include the Vertical TV, which rises up from the ground and was developed in conjunction with Porsche Design. From approximately $285,000. cseed.com
