From now on, more people will be able to say, “I own a Bentley”, as the British car manufacturer has unveiled its luxury home and executive furniture range at the Maison & Objet Fair in Paris. The collection is the result of Bentley’s collaboration with Italy’s Luxury Living Group, one of Europe’s leading furniture makers.
Inspired by the craftsmanship and materials found in Bentley automobiles, the collection offers items for home and office in a range of natural colors that include mocha, cognac, taupe, quartz, grey and ice, as well as variations of purple-red, burgundy, brick red or blue.
The collection includes five individual pieces: the Minster Sofa, Butterfly Sofa & Armchair, Richmond Bed, Ambassador Sideboard and Harlow Armchair.
Available in leather or fabric, the Minster Sofa has curved arms, while the body and seat feature purple-red velvet matched with burgundy velvet piping along the edges.
The Butterfly Sofa & Armchair consists of an armchair in pinstriped fabric, quilted in grey wool and a couch wrapped with ivory leather. Promising “unrivalled comfort”, the Richmond Bed has a double shell covered in quilted leather or precious briar root that encompasses the headboard lined with iridescent sand-colored satin wool. The Bentley logo is embroidered on the headboard.
The Ambassador Sideboard features a steel gunmetal structure and a container module covered with lava-colored leather, briar root or Ebony Macassar veneering.
Finally, the Harlow Armchair is a reinterpretation of the iconic film director’s chair that features a steel gunmetal base upholding the seating covered with cognac-colored leather.
