Location: Monterey, California

Year: 2019

The House of Bentley Pavilion, a collaboration between Formations Studio and Iris Worldwide, was commissioned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bentley Motors for the 2019 Monterey Car Week. The concept was to create a fully immersive experience of what it is like to design and build one of the most beautifully crafted cars in the world. Working from a pallet of luxurious materials and patterns that are classic to the brand, the pavillion is created with 100 vertical fins that create a circular space as a reference to the rotational power of the engine. The fins each represent one year of operation, from 1919 to 2019, and are organized in an accelaration pattern to create a dynamic play of light and view sheds.
