Bentley’s Design Director Stefan Sielaff, an alumnus of the RCA’s renowned Automotive Design programme, explained:

“Bentley has always been at the forefront of automotive luxury, and with this collaboration we asked millennial students for their vision of the future.

We wanted ideas and concepts that could potentially lead us in new and interesting directions, using the perspective of these digital natives – from all over the world – to see things differently.”
