6 Questions with…May Cruz, Graphics Guru and Artistic Adventurer

For May Cruz, Bentley’s senior creative services manager, art is her world.

8 Questions with… Tracy Hiner, LA Artist & Entrepreneur

Inspiration is everywhere. But it’s people who intrigue and influence us most – especially those who are so passionate about what they do and why they do it that it’s contagious. You can’t help but be moved. At Bentley we surround ourselves with people just like this. Often purposefully, but sometimes, by chance.

(los)t angeles Collection

Every city is a story of juxtaposition – of conquest and sin; loss and growth; decay and renewal. Los Angeles is no different, a sprawling, open book that somehow manages to be gritty and razor-sharp while living up to its laid-back, sun-drenched bohemian reputation. Through the lens of our latest carpet collection, Bentley contrives the next chapter of our narrative with (los)t angeles.
