The stagnant economy is affecting everyone, but luxury supercar brand Bentley is making a concerted effort to avoid laying off its skilled woodworkers by initiating a new furniture venture. Using in-house surplus wood, these artisans are making cabinets, occasional tables and other wood furniture. Some of the Bentley furniture traveled to the Geneva Motor Show, where it went on display at the Bentley stand. There’s no word as to where it can be purchased yet.

"This is about turning a difficult situation to our advantage. We have an excellent skills base in our workshop. There are very few other furniture makers who could match our level of veneer."
