# Auto Interior Furniture The Bentley Harlow Armchair Sports Fashion and Function Without Compromise By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2014-01-27 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-harlow-armchair References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/bentley-harlow-armchair/) & [bentleymotors](http://www.bentleymotors.com/world_of_bentley/bentley_collection/exclusive_partnerships/bentley_home_collection/) Continuing the line of furniture the automaker [released in the fall](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-home-furniture), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-furniture-collection), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Furniture:** The trend of luxury furniture inspired by premium car interiors and art deco is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the furniture industry. - **Affordable Modernism:** The trend of attainable modern luxury inspired by automotive brands like Bentley is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the furniture industry. - **Fusion Aesthetic:** The trend of bringing together contrasting design elements to create a fusion aesthetic is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the furniture industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** The furniture industry has an opportunity to integrate elements of luxury car interiors and art deco styles to create new products that offer style, comfort, and affordability. - **Automotive:** Automotive brands can capitalize on the trend of luxury furniture and offer brand extension products that reflect their brand values. - **Interior Design:** The trend of fusion aesthetic can be emphasized in interior design and decor by introducing contrasting design elements to create unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Automotive Brand Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aston-martin-v244-lounge-chair.md) - [Sustainable Luxury Vehicle Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssean-edition.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prova-mo53-lounge.md) - [Airline-Inspired Bespoke Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airline-seat-specification.md) - [Chinese Culture Car Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-mulliner-inspired-by-china.md) - [Chunky Curvaceous Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/001-chair.md) - [Automobile-Focused Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ralph-lauren-modern-driver.md) - [Driver Seat-Inspired Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-office-chair.md) - [Flamboyant Vintage-Inspired Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiltana-armchair.md)
