To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, luxury automaker Bentley has produced a limited series of bespoke cabin cushions.

The cushions will remain with Bentley’s press cars for a time and are not available for purchase.

A team of workers based at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England used a combination of craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to digitize the special Coronation Emblem before creating each bespoke cushion by hand. Each cushion took over three hours to produce.

The color combinations for the cushions have been matched to the individual specifications of two Bentayga EWBs and two Bentayga Hybrids, and one other highly bespoke Bentley, in time for this weekend’s coronation celebrations.

The colors of the cushions include Cricketball, Cumbrian Green, Imperial Blue and Saddle, utilizing 1.4mm thick leather with accent piping of Beluga, Porpoise, Newmarket Tan and Imperial Blue respectively. 

Contrasting the leather, the emblems have been sewn in black, white, red and blue thread. The size and shape of the cushions have been modeled from the cushions of the 1958 S1 Continental Flying Spur in Bentley’s Heritage Collection.
