For those deep-pocketed individuals tired of the same old woodgrain accents, Bentley’s Mulliner division has developed a new way to trim out your next Continental or Flying Spur — with stone.
The stone veneers are available now and come in four different natural colors — Galaxy, Autumn White, Terra Red and Copper. Like their wood counterparts, each stone veneer is shaped and hand finished at Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England.
“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,” said Geoff Dowding, Director of Mulliner Operations. “Stone veneers are another first for Bentley – but only the beginning of what we plan to do with this luxurious and unique material.”
The stone veneers, which are sourced from quarries in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh, India, are cut from larger pieces of rock and are cured using glass fiber and a bespoke resin. Measuring just 0.1mm thick, Bentley says the veneers are both light and translucent.
