On the occasion of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2016, Bentley Home presented a collection celebrating the tradition of the great automotive brand. Nobility is refined through a new aesthetic style which honours savoir-faire, creativity, and sophistication.

The collection is set inside a luminous modern Penthouse overlooking the dynamic city of London. The unique urban landscape of the British capital characterised by its landmarks of contemporary architecture, provide the perfect backdrop, harmoniously staging the bold, fluid contours of the Bentley Home collection.

The silhouettes and iconic shapes, so synonymous with Bentley are translated into a new language of interiors. Balancing the use of the highest quality materials and artisanal manufacture, with innovation; paying homage to the brand’s illustrious heritage, whilst openly embracing the future. Creating a captivating lifestyle, for everyday living.

The materials used are the result of this balance between tradition and innovation. New velvets,with their unique quality and elegance, are handwoven on backstrap looms using ancient techniques. This approach is enriched by new technologies which create three dimensional textured waves. The characteristic patterns of British menswear such as pinstripes,Houndstooth checks, Prince of Wales plaids, and geometric ascots, are coordinated with iconic Bentley styling features such as diamond quilting. These are stitched onto extraordinary,supple leathers; in shades of beige, mink and cognac.

The palette expresses a series of neutral tones; a selection of greys with accents of blue and chocolate. Precious briar-root is presented in different veneers and colour variations. Great importance is likewise given to the Ebony Macassar and walnut finishes in addition to onyx and Calacatta marble.
