Veyron, Chiron, and Tourbillon, three only Bugatti models in just over 20 years may not seem like much. We tell you what other things Bugatti designers do.
Those who as children wondered what the elves did when it wasn’t Christmas, as adults they will wonder what the Bugatti designers do. Because one would think that so much creative brilliance for only three models in 20 years It may seem like a waste of talent. In addition to meet their millionaires, retailers and capricious buyers, to make them even more exclusivethey have other obligations.
Play billiards on the waves
Who hasn’t thought of play pool on the yacht while the waves shake it? If this is your case, you have to get the pool table that Bugatti has created together with the car miniature manufacturer IXO. For a price of about $300,000, they launched a self-leveling pool table in 2021 thanks to the gyroscopic effect, built in carbon fiber and aluminum. In just 5 milliseconds you can adjust each of its legs to compensate and level the tablein total silence. Pedro Sánchez, general director of IXO, wanted to achieve something extraordinary in every aspect: beauty, luxury, elegance, durability… There are only 30 manufactured and, of course, it could be chosen to match the colors and materials of the four-wheeled Bugatti.
Also, they tell the time
It has two turbos and 16 V-shaped pistons, which move insidebut it is not a real engine. You can see them, as well as the double springs on which the mechanism is suspended. The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon (they didn’t rack their brains much later to name their third car model) is a watch and not only is it mechanical, but it is not automatic and you have to wind it up. It has two, one for the hands, another to store energy for the entire animation that accompanies them. A “fuel” indicator at nine o’clock warns when it needs to be wound up again. This creation by Bugatti and Jacob&Co seems like quite an investment, like Bugatti cars. The titanium case was sold for 340,000 euros, there are ads for almost 600,000 euros with the sapphire crystal case. Like everything exclusive, It can be ceramic, rose gold, diamonds… All you have to do is contact and agree on the client, designer and watch craftsmen.
On the occasion of the Bugatti Tourbillon, Jacob Arabo (creator of Jacob&Co) and Achim Anscheidt (design director of Bugatti) once again designed a watch according to the model. This time, without turbos and with the 18 pistons and crankshaft also in motion.
By the way, the tourbillon that gives the car its name is the rotating mechanism that helps counteract the inaccuracy due to the force of gravity. Seeing is believing, how “the engine” moves:

When the packaging costs more than the perfume
You can now have important things to store. If you don’t want to hide your safe, you can order one of Bugatti design. It doesn’t matter if you don’t contain any work of art inside, because the armored box itself is already a work of art.
Together with Buben & Zorweg they have designed sculptural boxes, such as the Chiron Spirit to store watches with the classic that characterizes the design of the Chiron. Or the Grand Illusion, also limited to 30 units. Like a hydraulic jack, it makes a cylinder emerge from its interior that houses keys, jewelry… Activated by fingerprint or radio frequency and although it is only 1.2 meters tall, it weighs 215 kilos. A watch can be housed in the upper part and its interior includes supports with movements to wind automatic watches, in groups of four, referring to the cylinders and blades of the crankshaft when their drawers are opened: these designers… Of the safe ” conventional” only 25 units are manufactured, combining safety materials with nappa leather and carbon fiber.
To feel at home
You may know Zara Home, but when was the last time you went to Bugatti Home? Of sofas to loungers, from office furniture to lampsyou can find all the furniture. They also rely on the resistance of carbon fiber for an almost floating design, which recreates a chair – like the Cobra model – from 1902 created by the father of the founder of Bugatti.
Champagne wrapped in carbon fiber
For 320 euros you can enjoy a bottle of champagne from Bugatti vats, Charnnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Of course, the presentation could not be something conventional, and the glass bottle is covered in carbon fiber, for collectors… Some will think that the collar is as valuable as the dog and perhaps they are right.
Life of the color with which you look at it
Nothing less than 20 designs of sunglasses signed by Bugatti They can be found on their website. You can choose from just over 1,100 euros, while titanium or silver frames double the price. The lenses are plastic, the heaviest from Zeiss, although half as heavy as if they were glass. Of course, with a hologram of authenticity, certificate and a leather case.
Digital-real artwork
The idea of Fabergé eggs brought to the 21st century, to blockchain and NFTs by Bugatti. Asprey jewelry has made 111 unique eggswith decoration based on the dancing elephant that presided over the Bugatti 41 Royale. Inside (of which There will be no images to reserve it for your buyers), a recreation of said car and the Saint Jean castle, home of the Bugatti, can be seen through an opening. In its digital part, each egg has been digitally inscribed as an NFT on the Bitcoin blockchainso that it lasts forever as a work of art.
About what Bugatti’s design teams are entertainedthere is no doubt. The surprising thing is that, in the meantime, they still have time to meet the demands of each of their exclusive buyers and even think about evolutions of the current Bugatti Tourbillon and considering a new model for the coming 30s.
