Stone Veneers by Mulliner – The Next Level of Modern British Luxury
- Bentley pushes boundaries of cabin luxury with new and rare materials
- Lightweight and contemporary feature developed by Mulliner
- Four exclusive colours: Galaxy, Autumn White, Terra Red and Copper
(Crewe, 04 January, 2016) #bentley Motors’ bespoke coach-building division, #mulliner, is introducing the next level of modern British automotive luxury – #stoneveneers.
This innovative interior finish utilises state-of-the-art stone veneer technology to make a luxurious, contemporary feature of a natural product formed over 200 million years.
The slate and quartzite stone is sustainably sourced from hand-selected quarries in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh, India – a nation with an ancient and rich culture of stone masonry. The sections of stone are split from larger pieces and cured using glass fibre and a bespoke resin. Finally, they are shaped and hand finished by Bentley’s world-renowned #mulliner coachbuilding team at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England.
The stone surfaces of the veneers meaning that they are both extremely light and translucent, allowing the elegant grain and pattern in the stone to be visible to the interior occupants.
Geoff Dowding, Director of #mulliner Operations, comments: “Bentley is the established expert in the handcrafting of wood and leather, and now we are exploring new, fine and rare materials to offer even more bespoke tailoring and choice to our customers. #stoneveneers are another first for #bentley – but only the beginning of what we plan to do with this luxurious and unique material.”
Mulliner is now offering #stoneveneers in a natural finish, in four different colours on Continental and Flying Spur: Galaxy, Autumn White, Terra Red and Copper. As with any bespoke feature, customers that are interested in #stoneveneers can get in touch with Mulliner’s bespoke team who will work with each individual to discuss their unique requirements.
