Designed by Bentley's skilled design team, the Record Room seamlessly blends acoustic excellence with the brand's signature aesthetics and attention to detail. Bespoke finishes are skillfully incorporated, from the signature Bentley 'Diamonds' trimmed in locally sourced British wool adorning the ceilings to the dégradé walnut panels that decorate the walls. Each panel features geometric lines and curves tailored to enhance acoustic performance across the sound spectrum.

The polished mineral plaster walls are inlaid with contoured walnut veins surrounding the stage area, further enhancing the sound experience and aligning with Bentley's design DNA. The key Bentley diamond signature backdrop brings the stage experience to life, creating a visually striking and immersive setting.

Ceiling heights are adjusted to create a sense of grandeur around the stage area, while more intimate low-slung seating and private dining areas offer ultimate comfort and visibility within the space.

The centrepiece of the Record Room is the majestic walnut diamond bar, inspired by the Bentley Batur matrix. Featuring a Patagonia stone top and panelled with Bentley green low-carbon leather secured by knurled rotary dials, the bar's rounded edges soften the space and contribute to the overall aesthetic harmony.

Furniture from Bentley Home, including the Galloway Bench and Ryde Ottoman, is interspersed throughout, showcasing the brand's skilful use of wood, dynamic lightness, and the iconic machine-stitched Bentley 'B' emblem.

Chris Cooke, Head of Design Collaborations at Bentley Motors, expressed, "We have created an intimate, exclusive club that speaks to the authenticity of the Bentley brand in its execution of luxury and craftsmanship, all whilst elevating the sensory experience for its luxe members."

The Bentley Record Room embodies the brand's ethos of design and sound excellence, offering clients and VIP contacts a sanctuary to indulge their passion for music and witness world-class performances in an intimate setting.
