Dezeen teams up with Bentley in Milan to host the first in a series of Lighthouse Talks that will ask what the future of luxury holds.

Is the traditional perspective around luxury about to radically change? Will recycled materials with powerful backstories become the new aspiration? How do we embed circularity into the design process? Could a whole new generation of bio-fabricated materials emerge? And can the high-end sector help lead the way in a new era of responsible innovation?

Dezeen's editorial director Max Fraser will ask these questions to an esteemed panel of material experts including Ilse Crawford, founder of design studio Studioilse, Monique Zappalà, art creative director at Bentley Home, and Chris Cooke, head of Bentley design collaborations.

This is an invite-only event and places are extremely limited. If you would like to attend, please email [email protected] to express your interest.

The talk will also be filmed and published on Dezeen at a later date.

Dezeen x Bentley Lighthouse talk: rethinking luxury materials takes place at 11:00am on 21 April 2023 at the Bentley Home Atelier at Palazzo Chiesa, Corso Venezia 36, 20122 Milan, Italy.
