HARMONIOUS BY DESIGN, ETERNAL BY NATURE
BENTLEY HOME UNVEILS THE 2026 COLLECTION AT MILAN DESIGN WEEK
For Milan Design Week 2026, Bentley Home reveals a new chapter in its vision of luxury with the debut of “ETERNA”, an immersive cinematic journey that explores the timeless soul of the brand through the lens of visual storytelling and heritage. Moving beyond a traditional product presentation, Bentley Home invites its global audience to experience an evolution of its DNA—a narrative arc that spans eras, styles, and the very essence of timeless elegance.
THE CINEMATIC VISION: A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
At the centre of this year’s activation is the “ETERNA” film, a sophisticated narrative set against the iconic backdrop of Rome. The film portrays a lifestyle of profound refinement, reminiscent of “La Dolce Vita,” where individuals—portrayed by actor Francesco La Mantia, dancer Martina Gabrielli, and Bruna Mattos—are immersed in an atmosphere of effortless elegance. This cinematic journey captures the shifting tides of taste and personality over decades, further enriched by the artistic presence of Red Longo, whose work on set bridges the gap between heritage and contemporary vision. Together, they illustrate a brand that remains fundamentally true to its essence: from the evocative opening scenes featuring the very first Bentley Home collections to the contemporary unveiling of the 2026 Collection, the film showcases a seamless evolution of design and material mastery. Rome, with its unparalleled cultural weight, serves as the ideal stage to manifest this vision of enduring beauty.
THE ATELIER EXPERIENCE: A STRUCTURAL MASTERPIECE
The experience continues within the Bentley Home Atelier in Milan, which has undergone
a significant and permanent structural transformation to house an exclusive private cinema. This architectural intervention underscores the brand’s commitment to creating an immersive sanctuary for its guests, moving away from conventional retail toward a gallery-like experience. Within this exclusive environment, the dialogue between history and the future is physically manifested through Red Longo’s bespoke artistry. The artist has transformed the Atelier’s Lounge Area with two large-scale customized walls. For
the first time, Bentley Home’s world-renowned wood essences have been utilized as a literal canvas, allowing for an unprecedented dialogue between the organic grain of ultraluxury woods and the artist’s bold graphic signature.
To complete this holistic journey, guests can virtually “step into” the movie sets through a next-generation Extended Reality (XR) experience developed with OOBE-XR, while the sensory landscape is enriched by the integration of Bentley Fragrances.
THE 2026 COLLECTION: ETERNAL REFINEMENT AND MATERIAL INTEGRITY
The Bentley Home 2026 Collection marks a transformative chapter in the brand’s evolution, where refinement meets a deep, emotional narrative. This collection is an invitation to experience design as a vessel for memory and identity, creating a lasting
connection between the individual and their domestic sanctuary. While long-celebrated for its material richness and precision of form, Bentley Home now emphasizes a
timelessness that emerges from pure authenticity—from the presence of the human hand and craftsmanship that imbues every artifact with a distinct, soulful character. Each surface represents a quiet dialogue between tradition and innovation, where artisanal mastery transforms precious materials into a legacy of design meant to accompany life for decades. At the heart of the 2026 Collection lies a profound commitment to materiality and substance. Rooted in Italy’s peerless artisanal excellence, the collection translates a
design language that is unmistakably Bentley: global in vision, yet local in creation. This year, the brand introduces a responsible approach to finishing with the use of handbrushed Shellac lacquer. Composed of natural resin, this meticulous process creates layered surfaces that interact gently with light, enhancing the architectural presence of each piece while reducing environmental impact. This exploration of material extends to a curated selection of bespoke textiles, including wool alpaca, cotton, mohair velvet jacquards, and linen. These natural fibres compose a sensory landscape that is both
inviting and refined, embodying a belief that true sustainability is inseparable from endurance and beauty.
2026 COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS
Embrace Sofa
Designed by Carlo Colombo, the Embrace sofa refines the legacy of the iconic Ramsey line, reinterpreting its distinctive architecture through a softer, more fluid vision. The enveloping structure creates a refined cocoon effect, transforming comfort into a
defining architectural statement. A key element of this evolution is the outer shell, now fully upholstered in leather. This additional sculpted surface enhances the sense of comfort while celebrating Bentley’s harmony of authentic materials: the visual presence of wood veneers is softened, allowing leather to shape the exterior identity. The silhouette becomes more cohesive, more seamless, and distinctly contemporary, with subtle references to Bentley’s evolving design language, as explored in the EXP-15 concept car.
Proportions have been recalibrated and subtly refined, resulting in a lighter footprint within the living space. The tension between the structured outer shell and the generous upholstered interior articulates a poised equilibrium between engineering discipline and domestic softness. In this balance of proportion and material expression, the sofa defines a more contained and essential direction for Bentley Home — grounded in precision, material purity, and enduring elegance.
Embrace armchair
Echoing the Ramsey lineage, the Embrace armchair by Carlo Colombo distills the sofa’s architectural concept into a more intimate scale. The embracing outer shell curves around the seat, shaping a protective yet inviting volume designed to respond naturally to the body.
The profile narrows gently towards the base, enhancing its visual fluidity while preserving
structural integrity. Its reduced dimensions reflect Bentley Home’s refined direction —
calibrated proportions, fluid transitions, and a disciplined approach to volume. The contrast between the leather-clad exterior and the upholstered interior reveals a subtle interplay of structure and tactility. Compact yet expressive, the armchair embodies a balanced synthesis of heritage inspiration and forward-thinking restraint.
Continuum chair
Designed by Carlo Colombo, the Continuum dining chair introduces a visually lighter, see-through structure that opens a new chapter in Bentley Home seating. Conceived for both refined dining environments and executive meeting rooms, it combines patial transparency with architectural precision.
The open frame allows space to flow through the design, reducing visual mass while preserving compositional strength. The cocooning gesture of the piece embodies Bentley’s design principles, while the tapered form gives a bold, confident stance.
Material junctions are expertly resolved to create a harmonious appearance. The seat appears gently suspended within the sculpted frame, enhancing the perception of lightness without compromising stability. This disciplined construction reflects a more efficient and versatile design approach.
The outer structure is available in wood veneer or lacquer, while the seat and backrest can be upholstered in leather or fabric. Tone-on-tone or contrasting combinations enable highly tailored configurations, adaptable to residential settings as well as high-end
corporate contexts.
Dovedale coffee table
The Dovedale coffee tables introduce an expanded approach to customization within the Bentley Home collection. The composition is defined by the iconic Bentley chamfer, whose precise bevelled edge frames the tabletop and becomes a distinctive visual signature of the design. The outer frame and inner surface can be specified in different materials, allowing wood veneers and marble to coexist within the same tabletop. This refined interplay of materials opens new possibilities for personalization, enabling a wide range of tailored combinations. Resting on a lacquered base, the superimposed surfaces create a composition with a subtle architectural presence, balancing structural clarity with the material richness that defines Bentley Home.
Brimham ottoman
Soft, organic forms inspired by river pebbles define the Brimham ottomans, designed by Federico Peri. Their pure, sculpted volumes reveal a refined attention to proportion and detail, expressing a lighter and more relaxed interpretation of the Bentley Home language.
A distinctive leather “saddle” wraps the structure, enriching the piece with both functional and decorative value. The element can be removed and replaced over time, allowing the ottoman to evolve while reinforcing the concept of longevity that underpins the collection. Depending on the configuration, the saddle may include pockets and crafted details, transforming the ottoman into a versatile and personal object within the living space. Additional leather handles enhance ease of movement, while different saddle interpretations — including versions with perforated diamond patterns — introduce further possibilities for customization.
Porter trunk
Inspired by classic travel trunks, the Porter trunk reinterprets the idea of mobility and luxury through a multifunctional object conceived for both living spaces and bedrooms.
Its refined silhouette evokes the heritage of historic luggage, translating the spirit of
travel into a contemporary interior piece. The outer shell can be finished in lacquer or Shellac lacquer, while the interior is lined in leather, Alcantara, or cashmere, creating a refined interplay of materials. The trunk may also feature Bentley’s iconic diamond motif, further reinforcing the connection with the brand’s automotive heritage. Conceived as a highly adaptable object, Porter can be configured according to individual needs. The interior can remain open or be equipped with optional storage boxes secured by leather straps and magnetic closures, transforming the piece into a personal micro-architecture dedicated to travel, memory, and refined organization.
Nest bedside table
Conceived with more compact proportions, the Nest bedside table introduces a refined expression of restraint within the Bentley Home collection. Its clean, essential silhouette responds to the evolving scale of contemporary interiors while preserving the brand’s distinctive attention to detail.
The design is defined by Bentley’s signature chamfer and the subtle articulation of the drawer front, creating a precise architectural line that frames the composition. The drawer can be finished in lacquer or hand-applied Shellac lacquer, while the exterior structure is entirely upholstered in leather, reinforcing the tactile richness of the piece.
The top surface is available in marble or leather, allowing refined material combinations within a compact and highly sophisticated object.
