and unrepeatable. Each product within the new collection features the Degradé essence, and this technique can also be applied to past Bentley Home designs too. MARM \ MORE® is an innovative, ethical new fabric making its debut in the furniture world, developed and patented for Bentley Home. The new fabric utilises the genuine dust that is a bi-product of marble production. Sourced and produced in Italy from start to finish, master craftsmen are required to complete every step on the journey from powder to furniture wrap. Marble is known to be the ultimate material for sculpture and architecture, and is now stylishly and innovatively reinterpreted for fabric. Harnessing the natural power of marble, it restores value to its unique dust, transforming it into a textile that offers unmatched technical performance and aesthetic qualities. The precious marble powder fabric gracefully dresses the 2021 Bentley Home Collection, accentuating the elegant shapes of the furniture designs. Developing the new fabric was a complex and lengthy process. Production of the fabric requires the powder from high-quality marble to be mixed with a special composite to obtain a liquid microfilm. The microfilm recipe is then coupled with the selected cotton base textile to produce this unique fabric finish. This innovation in textile development uses renewable resources only and results in significant waste reduction. MARM \ MORE® is available in a choice of two different colours: light grey and natural green, each with a matte finish. This innovative covering can be chosen for every upholstered product within the new collection, and also applied to previous designs from Bentley Home. Styal The new Styal Desk is the masterpiece of the new 2021 Bentley Home Collection. During these times where the office has forcibly entered our homes, Bentley Home elevates the concept of office space, giving shape to an iconic product, luxurious and refined throughout every detail. A succession of graceful curves run the length of the 3-metre wooden frame, covered in a choice of leather or veneer, with the sideboard elegantly positioned for balanced proportion. The desktop is punctuated with a gunmetal grey insert: a visual “incision” that accentuates its sculptural profile, governing its lines and leading the curves at either end. The desk is broken down into four elements, subdivided by a metal profile, which can be covered in either leather or veneer.
