By intuition or by recipe, good food is like good design. It replenishes, energizes, calms. And Bentley is serving it all with its Culinary Collection.  

The Culinary Collection comprises three signature styles: On the Block, From Scratch and Serve It Up. On the Block makes an impact with its deep texture, reminiscent of the nicks and grooves of well-worn butcher block—marks of the creator at work. Bringing spice to any space, From Scratch features a bold, large-scale, multi-directional pattern, while Serve It Up is more reserved. Its accessible style and pattern remind us that there’s elegance in simplicity.  

Sustainably sourced and locally made, products in the Culinary Collection are manufactured with Bentley premium nylon, PVC-free, Cradle to Cradle Certified, NSF 140 certified, CRI Green Label Plus certified and are produced in a carbon neutral, LEED-EB:OM Gold-certified manufacturing facility. Along with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs), these products also carry Declare labels and have achieved Red List Approved status through the Living Building Challenge. 

The Culinary Collection is intentionally designed to stand—and stand out—on its own but also work well with other products, inside and outside of the collection. Its color line, for example, is unique yet complementary to that of recently launched products, helping ensure designers have a connected, cohesive Bentley library to cover all aspects of their projects.  

Importantly, Bentley’s Culinary Collection story extends beyond product. Every year, the company launches a social impact collaboration with an organization and mission close to its heart—and to its community in/around Los Angeles, with the hope that others will be moved to find similar organizations with like-minded values that are making a difference where it matters most: where we work, live and play. The annual philanthropic program ties back to Bentley’s signature product introduction—this year being the Culinary Collection.

In 2023, Bentley pledged financial and volunteer support to Homeboy Industries, the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. With deep roots in Los Angeles, Homeboy Industries provides training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people, allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community, such as through employment in restaurant, bakery, catering and food donation kitchens city-wide.
