More like a gentleman’s club on wheels than a car, the cockpit of a Bentley is a marvellous place to be. Tactile, luxurious and elegant, the interior design has few rivals in the motor industry. But why stop there? Out to conquer the super-high-end furniture market, the illustrious brand has launched a range of pieces inspired by its most celebrated vehicles. With a brand built on craftsmanship, heritage and the finest materials, it’s hardly from a standing start.

Designed and made in collaboration with Luxury Living Group, the new Bentley Home Collection is being launched at this month’s Maison & Objet Fair in Paris, and should get aesthetes’ pulses accelerating. With perfectly judged takes on modern classics, you can expect an English twist on things, with plenty of fine-grain leather, pinstripe and houndstooth. Pieces are simple and elegant, with an unmistakable nod to their automotive DNA.

A reputation for uncompromising attention to detail and a knack for bottling the British drivers’ spirit ensures this is about as close as you can get to sitting behind the wheel of a grand tourer from the comfort of your living room. The Bentley brothers would have been proud.
