In celebration of the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Bentley has produced a limited series of bespoke, handcrafted cabin cushions skilfully manufactured by a team of Bentley craftspeople. They have used a combination of fine craftsmanship and cutting edge technology to digitise the special Coronation Emblem before creating each bespoke cushion by hand. Three full days and four iterations of embroidery processing were required to achieve Bentley’s exacting quality standards, with nearly 30,000 stitches in each emblem needing careful refinement.
Each cushion took over three hours to produce, using hides sourced from Northern Europe where the temperate climate and lack of barbed wire fencing reduces imperfections. The size and shape of the cushions have been modelled on the cushions from the 1958 S1 Continental Flying Spur in Bentley’s Heritage Collection.
These cushions will remain with Bentley’s press cars for a time and are not available for purchase.
