Bentley Unveils Exclusive Record Room At Co-op Live Manchester, Elevating Music Venue Luxury
The Bentley Record Room, an exclusive experience at Co-op Live Manchester, has officially opened. Designed by Bentley's in-house team, this space combines advanced acoustic and performance enhancements with unique design and craftsmanship. Accommodating 100 guests, the luxe memberships for this exclusive venue have already sold out.
Adjacent to the Green Room, the Bentley Record Room offers a cossetting space that mirrors the refined luxury of a Bentley car. It also features a stage for spontaneous encores or showcasing emerging talent pre-show. Guests can enjoy curated dining options with private host and waiting services, including dedicated arrival and private entrance.
The Bentley Design team has ensured that the space provides optimal acoustic performance. Bespoke finishes include signature Bentley Diamonds trimmed in British locally sourced wool on the ceilings and dégradé walnut panels on the walls. Each panel features geometric lines and curves to accommodate different acoustics on the sound spectrum.
Polished mineral plaster finishes on the walls are inlaid with contoured walnut veins surrounding the stage area, enhancing the sound experience aligned with Bentley's design DNA. The key Bentley diamond signature backdrop brings the stage experience to life.
The ceiling heights are adjusted to create visual grandeur around the stage area, which drops around the bar. Intimate low-slung seating areas and private dining spaces allow for ultimate comfort and performance visibility within the space.
The majestic walnut diamond bar, inspired by the Bentley Batur matrix, serves as a sculptural centrepiece. The Patagonia stone top is panelled with Bentley green low carbon leather secured by knurled rotary dials, providing rounded edges that soften the space.
Furniture and Decor
Bentley Home furniture is interspersed throughout, from the Galloway Bench to the Ryde Ottoman. All pieces display the machine-stitched Bentley B and celebrate Bentley's skilful use of wood and dynamic lightness.
Chris Cooke, Head of Design Collaborations at Bentley Motors, stated: "We have created an intimate, exclusive club that speaks to the authenticity of the Bentley brand in its execution of luxury and craftsmanship. Our finished design gives unparalleled acoustic clarity while naturally incorporating signature design details."
Client Experience
Steven De Ploey, Director of Product and Marketing at Bentley Motors, added: "From meticulously crafted interiors to powerful sound excellence, design and sound have always been integral to the Bentley lifestyle. The Bentley Record Room embodies this ethos, offering clients a sanctuary to indulge their passion for music."
