Band pageantry is the art of colorfully costumed performers moving in choreographed formations with lighting and special effects all precisely timed to music. It’s a big show! The key is coordinating all the elements—from the boldest action to the smallest details.

Drumline and Pageantry follow those cues. Drumline is bold and dynamic. Offered in Carpet Tile only, Drumline brings a big rhythm to the floor. Pageantry, wraps those bold elements in a range of strong neutrals to balance and complement. And because it is available in all the Bentley formats including Carpet Tile, EliteFlex 6 ft Cushion, and Broadloom, Pageantry combines with Drumline to cover all types of floors with a true continuity in color and a broad variety of scale and movement.

Hear the whistle blow? Let’s march!

The exquisite meal. An idyllic space. Both provide health, comfort, and joy. 

The designer. The chef. Masterfully creating with simple, true ingredients. Catering to our most basic needs and our secret desire to be spoiled. Handpicking each detail first to replenish the soul, then to tease with unexpected spice.

The Culinary Collection presents three signature styles designed to satisfy your hunger for these essentials. On the Block makes a mark with deep texture, evoking the random nicks and grooves that line a well-used butcher block. From Scratch brings spice to any space with its large-scale, multi-directional pattern, while Serve It Up is more accessible in style and pattern—a good reminder to savor simplicity. 

Sustainably sourced and made, products in the Culinary Collection are manufactured with Bentley Premium Nylon. As always, all Bentley carpet products are PVC-free.

Likewise, Balustrade and Colonnade, two recent additions to our growing portfolio of luxury vinyl tile (LVT), cover the floor with purpose and style. Presented in a restrained architectural palette of four neutral shades, the concrete look of Balustrade and the soft stone pattern in Colonnade, respectfully reflect the natural materials they mimic. 

All Bentley LVT is delivered with a high-performance, scratch-resistant finish designed for heavy-duty traffic. And the heavier 5 mm composition requires less adhesive, no transition strips to carpet, and greater forgiveness of subfloor imperfections, building beauty and performance into every Bentley LVT floor you select. Experience it for yourself—order a sample today.

Today, everyone is a curator. Of design or words, of cinema or technology. Whether creating a collection of fine art or graphic fonts, the curator culls and convenes, framing viewpoints while widening perspectives, to shape and shift how others see and share the world. These curated points of view, and the stories they tell, fuel innovation, creativity and collaboration—and serve as the inspiration behind Modern Curator Collection No. 1.

Moody and a little edgy, the Modern Curator Collection No. 1 comprises three distinct patterns designed to creatively coexist—or strongly stand alone. Look Sharp makes room for every observer to step inside and share their story. A finely composed texture, it is formed and orderly with a slightly less predictable blend of soft, pooling hues and shades. Seeing Things captures the moment with both the urgency of the present and our memories of the past. Like found objects bound together, its positive and negative spaces form geometries that are entirely new, yet deeply familiar. Trained Eye is all about perspective. Come closer and you’ll see dashed lines that seem gestured, almost delicate. Stand back and you’ll see how they assemble, establishing a sweeping scale across the floor. 

A New Approach to Collaboration

“Everyone looks at things, and approaches things, differently—as they should. There is beauty in that, and incredible value in the diversity of thought and ideas,” said Vicki de Vuono, vice president of marketing and product development for Bentley. “With Modern Curator, we’re capturing the nuances of varying views, and combining and interpreting them in new, engaging ways for today’s commercial designers and interiors.”

Modern Curator is the first outcome of our new approach to product design and collaboration. Last year, we launched our “studio” – modeled after an interiors studio – that intertwines in-house expertise with outside influences. As Vicki shared with Design Milk, “…looking outside of yourself is vital. Relying on other experts (artists, historians, sociologists…) to bring in unexpected points of view and perspective, and then leveraging in-house expertise to execute in the category you’re in – this is how you unleash innovation for your market and inspire confidence among your team.”

The Daytripper Collection is comprised of four patterns—Expo Hall, Gallery Hop, Pop-Up Shop and Free Day—each with varying depth and shimmer and unique scale and proportion, the Daytripper Collection.

Expo Hall is reminiscent of the marble architecture, ancient and modern, that often houses our greatest museums.

The map of the city comes alive with Pop-Up Shop. Alleys, courtyards and forgotten storefronts open to host new thinking, artworks and designs for contemporary living.

Gallery Hop leans into artistic mark-making, evoking a painter’s brush strokes and smudge techniques with blending hues.

Then there’s Free Day, the open road that effortlessly connects the entire collection, reminding us that anything is possible. 

“Designers and artists thrive within the creative realm. Seeing art, wandering city streets of design festivals, seeking out installations and exhibitions. It’s their superfood and their purpose,” explains Victoria deVuono, vice president of marketing for Bentley. “For everyone, it presents possibilities – to preserve history and connect with the past, to understand the present and imagine the future. It’s important that we recognize just how impactful a gallery exhibit or a pop-up can be, for all of us. This is what Daytripper represents.” 

Together, the patterns present adventurous possibilities to preserve history and understand how it continues to shape the future. All four styles share an optimistic and authentic colorline of 12 colors.

Daytripper also tunes in and adapts to the needs of the ever-changing environment, which goes beyond design inspiration. Manufactured with Bentley Premium Nylon 6 , it’s the latest addition to our growing library of sustainable, PVC-free products. They are offered in 18-inch x 36-inch and 24-inch square carpet tiles backed by AFIRMA II and AFFIXX Hardback Tile and NexStep® Cushion Tile, and 12-foot broadloom with High PerformancePC.

Daytripper products are produced in a California LEED®-EB-OM Gold-certified manufacturing facility, are CRI Green Label Plus® certified and feature Declare® labels. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs) are forthcoming; LBC Compliance status and Cradle to Cradle Certification are also in process, expected before the end of 2022.
