As the creme de la creme of automobiles, these marques are instantly recognised for their unparalleled superiority in design and performance. Masters in their field, these automakers have been making inroads into homelier territory – quite literally speaking.
FERRARI
Cockpit chair by Poltrona Frau
Conceived and designed
by the Ferrari Design team with furniture makers Poltrona Frau, the Cockpit chair is an office chair that captures the excitement, speed and dynamism of the driver’s seat and passion for racing. Made from the same materials used in Ferrari cars, with an external shell moulded from carbon or alutex, the chair comes in two versions: the President – with a high backrest for generous support, and
the Executive – designed with a lower backrest
for freer movement.
THE COCKPIT CHAIR IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE- ORDER AT PROOF LIVING.
MERCEDES BENZ
Furniture Collection by Formitalia
The eight-piece collection, which was developed with designers from Formitalia in 2012, features regular furniture pieces, such as a sofa, dining table and a chest of drawers. What’s not so typical are the decidedly progressive designs – their curvy, stretched forms and pointed stems make
them almost unrecognisable as furniture.
ASTON MARTIN
Salone del Mobile 2018 preview by Formitalia
Aston Martin has created a three-piece collection with Formitalia for this year’s Salone, but its designs
could not be more different. Aston Martin’s latest sofa, coffee table and chair can
be arranged to create the quintessential modern Italian living room, defined by clean, geometric lines and featuring a neutral palette accented with pale gold and briarwood. The make of the collection references the high-tech manufacturing processes and traditional craftsmanship similarly applied to its coveted automobiles.

MASERATI
Grandtour armchair by Zanotta
When the Italian architects and designers Ludovica
and Roberto Palomba asked themselves, “If Maserati was an armchair, what would it look like?”, they found their answer in the shape of this lounge chair. The Palombas broke down the sharp lines
of the Maserati Quattroporte and rendered them in the design of an armchair which they felt reflected the inherent qualities of the marque: luxury and sportiness, technology and craftsmanship.
THE GRANDTOUR ARMCHAIR IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER FROM W. ATELIER.
BENTLEY
Home collection by Luxury Living Group
The 99-year-old British carmaker made its furniture debut at the 2014 Salone del Mobile, producing a five-piece collection that perfectly captured the brand’s renowned craftsmanship and exquisite materials found in its vehicle interiors. The collection, made in collaboration with Luxury Living Group, evokes the epitome of classic luxury – featuring sophisticated materials like velvet and cashmere in a natural colour palette of cognac and taupe.
THE BENTLEY HOME COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE AT MARQUIS HQO, LEVEL 1, 16 TAI SENG STREET.
