Milan Design Week 2026: New Bentley Home collection defined by materiality and craftsmanship

• Bentley Home creates a ‘sensory landscape’ at Milan Design Week 2026 with a refined focus on low-impact materials 
• The new furniture collection – a range of elegant tables, armchairs, sofas and trunks – is defined by tactility, longevity and reduced environmental impact 
• Presented at its historic Milan atelier, the launch reflects the brand’s broader shift towards softer forms, lighter visual language, and an emphasis on natural materials
• Array of materials featured include resin, shellac lacquer, wool, alpaca, cotton, linen, mohair velvet jacquards and leather 

(Crewe, 21 April 2026) Bentley Home’s new furniture collection, unveiled at Milan Design Week 2026, evolves the brand’s design language with a renewed focus on materiality, comfort and craftsmanship, continuing to extend Bentley Motors’ long-embedded principles of luxury into the home.     

With a refined and evolving material palette and a growing emphasis on sustainability, the collection features tables, sofas, armchairs and a trunk. Rooted in Italy's artisanal traditions, these new pieces represent the next stage in Bentley Home's global design identity.    

At the core of the collection is an exploration of finishes, created to reduce environmental impact without compromising on depth or richness. Natural resins are paired with hand-brushed shellac lacquers, applied through a layered process that enhances how surfaces interact with light. The effect is subtle rather than decorative, reflecting an architectural approach to finish that prioritises longevity over spectacle.    

Textiles play an equally significant role. Locally sourced and woven from natural fibres, the collection’s fabrics — spanning wool, alpaca, cotton, linen and mohair velvet jacquards — are designed to create an immersive, “sensory landscape” of understated comfort. The emphasis is on tactile materials that age well, developing character over time rather than resisting it.    

“This collection represents a meeting of design minds — bringing together the principles behind our cars and our furniture,” says Ben Saltmer, Head of Lifestyle Design at Bentley Motors. “Comfort and materiality are fundamental to Bentley, and here we’re pushing that further through materials that not only perform beautifully but become more compelling with age. For us, sustainability and endurance are inseparable.”    

The collection underscores Bentley Home’s collaborative model, bringing together long-standing designers Carlo Colombo and Federico Peri alongside the Bentley Motors Design Team. The result is a cohesive yet nuanced body of work that balances architectural clarity with a growing sense of softness.    

The new Embrace sofa, designed by Carlo Colombo, revisits the brand’s Ramsey lineage with a more fluid, enveloping form. Its fully leather-upholstered outer shell marks a deliberate shift away from the visual dominance of wood veneers, creating a more seamless and contemporary silhouette. The proportions have been refined to reduce visual weight, balancing structural precision with a more relaxed, domestic sensibility.    

Among the key pieces, the Embrace armchair distils the same language into a more compact piece, defined by a protective, curved outer shell and a subtle interplay between leather and upholstery. Its reduced scale and controlled geometry reflect the brand’s move towards lighter, more versatile interiors.    

The Continuum chair introduces a more transparent design approach. Its open frame reduces mass while maintaining structural integrity, allowing space and light to pass through the piece. Subtle aerodynamic cues reference Bentley’s automotive heritage, while extensive customisation options — from veneers to leather and fabric combinations — position it across both residential and commercial settings.    

Further extending the collection, a series of complementary pieces introduce new expressions of materiality and form. The Dovedale coffee tables explore a refined interplay of wood veneers and marble through Bentley’s signature chamfered detailing, offering expanded possibilities for personalisation.    

Designed by Federico Peri, the Brimham ottoman introduces softer, organic forms inspired by natural landscapes, with a distinctive leather ‘saddle’ element that enhances both function and longevity.    

The Porter trunk reinterprets classic travel heritage as a contemporary, multifunctional storage piece, while the more compact Nest bedside table reflects a move towards lighter, more versatile interiors, combining clean architectural lines with Bentley’s signature material richness.    

Monique Zappala, Creative Director at Luxury Living Group, adds, “Rather than presenting the collection as a standalone product launch, Bentley Home frames this range as part of a wider evolution — one that aligns with a growing demand from our customers globally for interiors that prioritise comfort, material authenticity and long-term value over statement-driven design.”    

In Milan, that shift will be expressed not just through individual pieces, but through an immersive setting and cinematic experience that reflects a more holistic vision of contemporary living — where luxury is quiet, more tactile, and built to last.    

Bentley Home, founded 13 years ago, has more than 60 stores worldwide with flagships in Milan, Jeddah, Riyadh, Dubai, Shijiazhuang, Xi’An, Nanjing and Shanghai. Bentley Home is designed, manufactured, and distributed by Luxury Living Group, and the collection can be seen in stores including Paris, Istanbul, Al Rayyan, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City and Dallas.
