Fluid contours: new Bentley Home collection at 2016 Milan Design Week

Feted world-class qualities joined by modern techniques of textiles and technology.

Bentley Home collection -

The fluid contours of the new 2016 Bentley Home collection presented at Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2016 joins the feted world-class qualities and heritage of the renowned automotive brand with the modern techniques of textiles and technology.

The materials are the result of a 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 co- ordinated with Bentley automotive design, including the use of diamond quilting. These are stitched onto 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. Importance is also given to the Ebony Macassar and walnut finishes in addition to onyx and Calacatta marble.
