Continuing the line of furniture the automaker released in the fall, the Bentley Harlow Armchair comes as another modern piece of attainable luxury that draws from a number of style aesthetics. Combining the comfort of a Bentley interior, the Bentley Harlow Armchair is something of a reimagining of a film director's chair, which is evident from the sharp criss-cross base that speaks much differently than the plush upper.
Taking something of an art deco turn, the Bentley Harlow Armchair isn't quite casual or formal, but rather keeps a firm stance in the middle between the two extremes. Cognac-colored leather and metal buckles on the side give the Bentley Harlow Armchair something of a dystopian air that's ahead of its time.
