Bentley Home launches new furniture collection

As the Newent Collection launches, Bentley Home offers a unique insight into its extraordinary creation process and crafting secrets.

Each piece of exquisite furniture is individually finished by hand and fuses traditional craftsmanship with new technology, embodying the techniques and principles of modern luxury integral to Bentley Motors.

Designed by the renowned Carlo Colombo, and presenting the excellence of Italian craftsmanship, the Newent creations are the latest additions to the Bentley Home collection - so synonymous with exquisite craft and innovation.

The comfort and harmony of the shapes, as well as the expressive silhouettes of the collection, are the key features of the Newent line.

The Newent sofa is the star of the collection, with a stunning armchair, chair and bed available to match. The curves of the Newent designs, echo those of the iconic Richmond Collection, the first Bentley Home line, launched in 2013. This distinguished previous collection has provided a source of inspiration for the Newent line, and allowed the design structure to progress to softer shapes, exploring the freedom of sinuous lines.

To achieve the extraordinary standards required to finish a piece of Bentley Home furniture, a human touch is vital. The bending moulds, requiring the handiwork of highly-skilled craftspeople, are made specifically for Newent designs.

This intense attention to detail ensures the precise and elevated standard of Bentley Home furniture is achieved, and the human touch guarantees that each piece is unique.

This exceptional standard of craftsmanship mirrors that of Bentley Motors' own and the veneer process in particular holds several similarities to that of the car interior. The flat press machine, for bonding the veneers to the support, is also used by both Bentley Home and Bentley Motors. Bentley Home injects the spirit of the modern British marque into its furniture designs, recognising that the classic must meet the contemporary. The lines and silhouettes of contemporary Bentley models are reflected within the furniture.

Yet the timelessness of the pieces is reminiscent of Bentley's evolving classic style over the course of its illustrious history since 1919. In the making of the latest collection, the interspace created in its curved frame cannot be achieved through traditional furniture-making techniques.

Bentley Home furniture is distinctive through its use of rounded shapes, achieved via technology, a constant search for greater innovation and finely-tuned, highly-qualified human skill. Crafted with passion and finished with love, Bentley Home can be finished to meet the customer's personal tastes, and to fit any elegant home.

Sporting a passion for individuality, furniture can be customised in the finishes that have made the British brand unique, from the most exquisite leathers and wood veneers. The options echo Bentley's automotive codes and include Burr Walnut or Smoked Liquidambar. The raw materials selected by Bentley Home are of the highest standard. One bundle of veneer woods is used per small furniture piece ensuring a consistent finish. Similarly, one bundle of veneers is used per Bentley car. For larger pieces of furniture, such as a bed or single-piece sofa, a larger number of veneer leaves is needed, and therefore multiple bundles are used.
