Rif & Zak Lalani detail what to expect to see from Bentley Designs during the January Furniture Show after a successful in-house event.
Last month, Bentley Designs, one of the UK and Ireland’s leading furniture suppliers with almost four decades of expertise, invited its customers – and the Big Furniture Group, to its bespoke Bicester facility for a first exclusive look at its new products ahead of the January Furniture Show (JFS) 2026.
After a number of years of product development, Bentley has significantly expanded its commercial Gallery Collection, introduced new products to existing popular Signature ranges, debuted three new wooden cabinet ranges and entered the sofa market with a mix of fabric and leather models in both fixed and motion styles.
The response? Overwhelmingly positive.
Starting with sofas, Bentley has developed a range of models to suit all tastes and price points, with a particular highlight being the Odessa – a motion sofa in modular design that features innovative technology where it can transform into a sofa bed, but not in the traditional sense.
“The Odessa has been very popular during our in-house event,” says Zak. “The way the product slides out has been an eye-catcher and we expect it to perform really well with our customers. As with all our new sofa ranges, the initial response has been positive and we’re excited to showcase these during JFS.”
Another area Bentley has delivered is its expansion of its Signature & Premier wooden cabinet programme with the introduction of Delta, a contemporary oak dining and bedroom range showcasing the natural characteristics of rustic oak. In addition, the Alora is a blue grey pigment bedroom range with the opulent crushed velvet headboard and waterfall effect plinth. Furthermore, the company has expanded its ceramic programme, which is part of its Gallery Collection.
A stand out here – and our editor’s favourite – are the adjustable height gas lift occasional tables. The in-stock Riley sofa table is proving extremely popular with customers already, with two similar products in the pipeline for 2026. The first being a gas lift coffee to bistro table – ideal for space saving and compact living, while the other is a coffee to sofa table offering the same functionality.
Other highlights within the collection are motion dining tables, including the Nero pop-up, the Levanti double end extension and the Verona swivel, while in addition, Bentley has also introduced commercially priced metal chairs and bar stools in on-trend fabrics. A show-stopper here is Cleo – a pocket sprung seat offering utmost comfort with the Bentley style. This product had arguably the best response during its in-house event, so a must see during JFS.
“Customers can procure our entire suite of products together from UK stock in Bicester and benefit from a bulk discount of 10% on orders over £10,000 excluding VAT, with delivery in two weeks,” Zak added. “We’ve also enhanced the value of our Gallery Collection with a UK stock promotion, offering 10% off all Gallery products on orders over £2,500 excluding VAT.
“We look forward to showcasing our expansion at JFS and welcome visitors to experience the new collections first-hand in Hall 1, Stand B60. We can’t wait to see you there.”
