Yes, that is "Porsche Design". They don't have anything to do with cars or engineering. They are more of the artistic branch of the Porsche family.
Actually when you go to visit the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen... across the street from the Museum is the factory owned/run Porsche Zentrum(dealership) - inside there... is a small shop that only sells Porsche Design stuff. Many people don't know its there. But it is.
Anyone can go inside and buy P-goodies.
Weissach takes on many different kinds of engineering projects - as long as it doesn't compete with Porsche's sports car business - Weissach has free rein. I think it's one of the reasons why Porsche has such an huge engineering grasp of so many different fields.
