Dezeen Awards 2023 trophies use sustainable materials

Dezeen Group V1 1920x1920.jpg

Earlier this year, we announced our three-year partnership with Dezeen, the world’s most influential architecture, interiors and design magazine, to inspire and support the next generation of design talent.

This year’s Dezeen Awards was one of the most-entered awards programmes in the sector internationally, attracting more than 5,000 entries from 90 countries.

With sustainability acting as a particular focus for the Dezeen Awards, we reimagined the iconic ‘d’-shaped trophies given to winners at a ceremony in November using a cutting-edge paper material, which was introduced with the latest Bentley Home furniture collection earlier this year.

Beautifully handcrafted from PaperFactor, a ‘raw paper’ micro compound that is coloured with natural pigments, the finish looks and feels remarkably like marble. The six trophies were produced with different colourways, making each one unique for architecture, interiors, design, sustainability, Designers of the Year and the Bentley Lighthouse Award.  The sustainable trophies were made possible thanks to a collaboration with architect and designer Riccardo Cavaciocchi, the founder of the Paper Factor company.

Bentley x Dezeen Competition Winners visit Bentley

dezeen design competition nov 2023 1920x1920.jpg

The winners of Dezeen and Bentley's Future Luxury Retail Competition were invited to Bentley's headquarters in Crewe, UK, which has been captured in this exclusive video by Dezeen.

The competition, which attracted over 145 contestants from more than 33 countries around the world, invited architects and designers to explore what luxury retail spaces could look like in 2030 and beyond.

Among the entries, three finalists were chosen as the winners and were invited to Bentley's headquarters in Crewe, along with receiving a cash prize.

"Bentley is a 104-year-old brand. For the last 77 years, our home has been right here in Crewe," said Chris Cooke, head of design collaborations at Bentley, who was also a judge for the competition.

"We felt this would be the perfect place for our finalists to discuss their projects and allow them to see firsthand how our vehicles are made," he continued.

Through the competition, Dezeen and Bentley aimed to explore the momentous changes occurring in the automotive and luxury industries. Car brands are moving away from the previously ubiquitous internal combustion engine in favour of electrification, while manufacturers are rethinking traditional dealership models entirely.

Bentley Home 2023 Collection

1920x1920_2023_collection_1.jpg

BENTLEY HOME LAUNCHES A NEW COLLECTION

  

The new capsule collection for 2023 brilliantly combines Bentley’s relentless pursuit of innovative sustainable materials with expert craftsmanship.

Bentley has collaborated with world-leading designers: Federico Peri, Riccardo Cavaciocchi, and Carlo Colombo – a true meeting of minds who share Bentley’s vision of working sustainably. The new collection reaffirms Bentley’s most distinctive design features: well-defined lines, the skillful use of wood, iconic curves, and contoured shapes.

GREAT MINDS PURSUE ALIKE

  

When Bentley collaborates with world-renowned designers, it’s more than just a meeting of minds. It’s about a relationship built on a shared purpose. The 2023 collection reaffirms the substance and elegance of Bentley Home Design in collaboration with leading designers chosen for their talent and innovative use of sustainable materials, organic forms, expert craftsmanship and cutting-edge production technology. Each piece translates beautifully into practical, contemporary furniture for the home.

MATERIALS THAT MATTER

  

Bentley Home has collaborated with Federico Peri on a new table series including a coffee table, which is available in beautiful veneer options as well as in a new Paper Marble finish by Paper Factor. Architect Riccardo Cavaciocchi, the founder of Paper Factor, has created a tabletop finish which is similar in look and feel to marble but created using ‘raw paper’ and natural pigments. In line with Bentley’s focus on sustainability, expert craft and materiality, Paper Factor harnesses traditional techniques using both hand and machine.

The Bentley Home Aldford Table features as the centerpiece of the dining room finished in exquisite materials carefully selected for this project. The curved legs, handcrafted in quartz grey leather taper up from the floor and come together under the top in a single form, accentuating the sense of lightness and suspension. A stunning 3-metre piece of calacatta marble sits on top, with tapered edges achieved using the latest milling techniques.

With Bentley Home’s first outdoor collection, Solstice, you can transform your outside space – and enjoy all the luxury of Bentley craftsmanship in the open air. It includes an elegant sofa, armchair and pouf in a choice of fabrics such as specially protected velvet, chenille and satin. The Colwyn hemp option is cultivated without chemicals, while the exclusive MARM \ MORE® fabric is made from waste marble powder, for a further sustainable option.

The coffee table and side table feature polished marble tops, while the sleek sunbed is lightweight and comfortable, making it perfect for gardens, terraces and poolsides. And like every piece in the Solstice collection, they feature the stunning super-mirror grille, its gleaming surface inspired by the matrix grille that adorns Bentley’s cars.

THE GALLOWAY COLLECTION

  

Prepare to relax in unrivalled style. Leading this season’s indoor collection are the luxurious Galloway Sofa, Bench and Chaise Longue. Their silhouettes feature elegant folds and tapering thicknesses, while their smooth, rounded armrests and backrests can be commissioned in high or low versions.

Further options include gloss or brushed finishing, alongside Degrade Lacquer and Metal Lacquer effects. Seating has never looked so good.

THE HEIGHT OF MODERN LUXURY

Bentley Residences Miami

Tower v2 test 1920x1920.jpg

Work is underway on the first residential development to bear the Bentley name. Offering uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and intracoastal waterways around Sunny Isles Beach, it will offer 61 storeys of modern luxury living, in what will be the tallest residential building on any US beachfront. This is Bentley Residences Miami.

The building will house 216 residences, each one with incredible views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The core of the cylindrically designed building, meanwhile, will house a patented car elevator – and with an in-unit multi-car garage area with up to four spaces for each apartment, residents will be able to drive right up to their homes. A collaboration between Bentley, Sieger Suarez Architects and luxury property specialist Dezer Development, the building is scheduled for completion in 2026. It can be explored today, however, by visiting the on-site sales gallery at Sunny Isles Beach, Florida.

A Place to Connect

Bentley Residences Miami - games room 1920x1920 test.jpg

Every aspect of the building’s communal space reflects Bentley’s design language, from the diamond-shaped glass panels on the façade, which evokes the diamond motif seen in the detailing on Bentley’s cars, to the diamond tiles on the lobby floor. Elsewhere in the lobby, structural pillars are veined with wood that has been ingrained with copper dust, for a metallic finish similar to that seen on Bentley’s showstopping concept car, the EXP 100 GT. In the cinema, meanwhile, a sofa wraps around three walls – part of a design that reflects the concept of a Bentley car interior. Deeper inside lies a wealth of shared facilities that enable the residents to meet and come together as a community. There will be a wellness centre and a spa, where residents can relax and recharge. A games room will offer VR headsets, alongside simulators for golf and driving. A restaurant and a cigar lounge will also feature, for relaxing in the company of friends.

Key to the experience of living in the building is the ability to drive right up to your home, thanks to the four ‘Dezervators’ – patented hydraulic elevators built to transport you and your vehicle direct to your floor. Your car is identified on arrival, thanks to an RFID sticker positioned in your vehicle. A special LED lighting system then guides you to one of the Dezervators which takes you straight to your residence. As the Dezervator takes you and your car up through the building, you will see the communal areas through the elevator shaft’s glass walls. The whole process is seamless, with no buttons to press and no need to leave your vehicle until you’re home.

A Grand Design

Bentley Residences Miami - East Unit Living Room 1920x1920.jpg

A fusion of indoor and outdoor living is central to the building’s design philosophy. This reflects the tastes of many Bentley drivers, whose cars can cocoon them in extreme comfort, while at the same time offering all the freedom the open road represents. An example of this principle can be seen in the apartments’ expansive balconies, each with its own private, heated swimming pool in which residents can enjoy the fresh air. Throughout the development, the designers have gone to great lengths to integrate the Bentley design language. So not only will every apartment exhibit the same attention to detail that goes into Bentley’s cars but each one will feature sustainable, locally sourced materials. Moreover, all work will comply with local environmental requirements, including the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) certification, to minimise environmental impact during the design and construction of the project.

To give potential buyers a glimpse into the future of this unique development, a sales gallery has been created on the site’s private beachfront. Visitors are greeted by a stunning Bentley Speed Form sculpture, which is finished in a bespoke colour mixed in the Bentley paint shop in Crewe, England. Inside, the 12,000 square foot gallery includes a full-size, 6,000 square foot replica of an apartment, complete with garage, balcony and pool. The gallery also plays host to a stunning whisky bar, in which the bar itself   has been suspended from the ceiling, so it appears to float on air. Wherever you look, Bentley Home furnishings are on display – a further demonstration of Bentley’s exquisite design and craftsmanship.
