Bollington Armchair & Wilton Desk Produced by Bentley Home
A Celebration of Materiality and Form
Beyond the home office, the new Bentley Home collection features pieces that emphasize craftsmanship, innovation, and lightness of form. The Loftus Sofa, designed by Federico Peri, takes modular seating to new heights with its organic shapes, floating cushions, and built-in side tables. Available in marble or leather, these integrated tables create a layered, geometric look that brings a sense of vibrancy and asymmetry to modern living spaces.
Carlo Colombo’s contributions to the collection, the Chilton Armchair and Langport Bed, offer sleek silhouettes and an exquisite blend of materials. The Chilton line's sinuous curves are inspired by automotive design, with bands of veneer accentuating the flowing leather exterior. The Langport Bed’s luxurious veneer panels and Striped Diamond-patterned headboard bring Bentley’s signature elegance to the bedroom, while seamlessly integrated reading lights create a calming, ambient glow.
A Sustainable Approach to Design
In collaboration with Paper Factor, a sustainable design studio based in Salento, Southern Italy, Bentley Home has embraced a new frontier in environmentally conscious materials. Using micro cellulose and natural pigments, the multisensory installation at Palazzo Chiesa highlights the importance of sustainability in luxury design. This forward-thinking approach not only enhances Bentley Home’s craftsmanship but also underscores the brand’s commitment to sustainable luxury.
The Bentley Home Atelier: A Year-Round Experience
Located within the historic Palazzo Chiesa, the Bentley Home Atelier serves as the backdrop for this year’s collection, blending modern luxury with the grandeur of Italy’s architectural heritage. Open to the public year-round by appointment, the Atelier invites visitors to explore Bentley’s world of contemporary luxury furniture in an immersive and dramatic setting.
As Bentley Home celebrates over a decade of design excellence, the 2024 collection signals a bold step forward. With new, customizable pieces and a fresh take on the home office, Bentley continues to lead the way in defining the future of luxury furniture.

BENTLEY HOME UNVEILS FUTURE CLASSICS AND ENTERS THE WORLD OF HOME OFFICE FURNITURE AT MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2024
Bentley Home continues to innovate with sustainable design, sleek customizations, and a bold move into home office furniture.
BY EGW LUXURY MAGAZINE Fall /Winter 2024
In an exciting debut, Bentley Home introduced a fresh direction at Milan Design Week 2024, marking its first foray into home office furniture. Showcased in the historic Palazzo Chiesa, this year’s collection is a testament to Bentley’s ongoing pursuit of craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and sustainable luxury. Working with renowned designers Carlo Colombo, Federico Peri, and Francesco Forcellini, Bentley Home unveiled a six-piece collection that highlights materiality, lightness of form, and a commitment to limitless personalization.
The New Bentley Desk: Reimagining the Home Office
At the center of this bold expansion into home office furniture is the Wilton Desk, designed by Francesco Forcellini. A marriage of dynamism and clean lines, the desk’s curved shell opens to reveal sleek, integrated drawers, demonstrating Bentley’s attention to both form and function. Showcased in two stunning finishes—Liquid Amber with Dark Shadow and Warm Grey Fiddleback Sycamore with Deep Ocean—the Wilton Desk is as much a piece of art as it is a work surface.
“The new collection for 2024 is characterized by a dynamism and lightness of touch,” says Chris Cooke, Bentley’s Head of Design Collaborations. “It’s a meeting of design minds, all of whom share a commitment to translating Bentley’s distinctive design DNA—comfort, craft, and elegance—into contemporary furniture.”
Paired with the Bollington Office Armchair, also designed by Forcellini, the home office setup exudes a powerful, minimalist aesthetic that mirrors Bentley’s luxury automotive design. The chair’s flowing curves and precise balance complement the desk’s fluid form, offering both comfort and a strong visual presence in any office space.
