New Furniture Collection Brings Harmony With a Human Touch Into Your Home

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, July 29, 2020:   With the launch of the Newent Collection, Bentley Home is offering 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.

 

The striking furniture pieces draw inspiration from both long-established and modernist design, and interpret the personality and discerning aesthetic of Bentley Motors. The silhouettes and iconic shapes of Bentley models new and old, alongside the precious materials that characterise car interiors, can be seen in the design language of Bentley Home’s beautiful home pieces. The Newent Collection’s characteristic quality of each item mirrors Bentley’s core luxury and performance elements.

 

 

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 and are available to discerning Middle East customers.

 

The Newent sofa is the star of the collection, with a stunning armchair, chair and bed available to match. The pieces can be either fully upholstered in the customer’s choice of sumptuous leather or fabric, or with a veneered frame. Available in the most iconic walnut briarwood design, the frame envelops the curved profile of the sofa, highlighting and enhancing the  differing angles that characterise its elegant, tapered shape. The curves of the Newent designs, echo those of the iconic Richmond Collection, the first Bentley Home line, launched in 2013. 

 

Chris Cooke, Bentley’s Head of Product Design, commented: “We work very closely with our colleagues at Bentley Home to ensure the furniture we create embodies the exacting standard in design and manufacture we have in our cars.

 

“From the language and flow of the surfaces to the detailed execution of the veneering process, the ‘Newent’ range is a great example of what we do best, create luxury products for discerning customers.”

Exquisite Craft and Elegant Process

To achieve the extraordinary standards required to finish a piece of Bentley Home furniture, a human touch is vital. Veneering, for example, is hand-inlaid and positioned with a hot-vacuum membrane press. The bending moulds, requiring the handiwork of highly-skilled craftspeople, are made specifically for Newent designs. This procedure is extremely precise and is completed by hand..

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.

Both Bentley Home and Bentley Motors use high-frequency machine presses for curved pieces; sharing the use of a very advanced technology that can create these smooth and rounded shapes that have become so iconic. The flat press machine, for bonding the veneers to the support, is also used by both Bentley Home and Bentley Motors. Both partner brands also follow the same process for veneer preservation, storing woods in rooms with a constant temperature to avoid changes in the wood patterns that can occur from exposure to other elements, or transitions from dry to damp.

Made for the Discerning Eye

Bentley Home can be finished to meet the customer’s personal tastes, and to fit any elegant home. Furniture can be customised in the finishes that have made the British brand unique, from the most exquisite leathers and wood veneers.

Pieces are available either fully upholstered in leather or fabric, or with the frame veneered. The options echo Bentley’s automotive codes and include Burr Walnut or Smoked Liquidambar.
