Bentley Provides Video of the Making of the Mulsanne Interior
By Chris Weiss
Ever wonder how all that smooth wood and hand-stitched leather come together to make the lush, high-end interior of a Bentley or other luxury saloon? Well, whether you did or not, Bentley has the answer for you on five minutes worth of YouTube space that are definitely worth taking the time for.
A little taste from Bentley’s press release:
The entire Mulsanne cabin is encased by a ‘ring of wood’ waistrail, as part of which a single, ‘unbroken’ panel of wood graces the Mulsanne’s dashboard. Customers may select from an extensive range of premium quality veneers, unbleached for a natural appearance, including Walnut, Piano Black, Oak, Bird’s Eye Maple, Vavona, Olive Ash and Sapelli Pommele, harvested from sustainable sources across the globe.
The exquisite hides and veneers of Bentley’s new flagship are fashioned by the company’s highly skilled craftsmen and women with over 40 years’ experience who will invest over 170 hours into creating the interior of just one Mulsanne, as Robin Page, Head of Interior Design, comments:
“Crafting the Mulsanne’s interior represents a substantial part of the build process. At Crewe, Bentley’s way of working is the exact opposite of mass production – we start where others stop.”
