So, apparently Bentley makes furniture now

Add as a preferred source on Google

Every so often, luxury car brands like to take a break from making high-end autos and dip their toes into other stuff. Just a few months ago, Bugatti teamed up with Desvall to make a $100K hookah, Maserati unveiled an armchair, and now Bentley is getting into the game with an expanded line of ultra-opulent home furnishings inspired by the luxurious interiors of its vehicles.

Designed through a collaboration between architect Carlo Colombo and Bentley’s head product designer Daniele Ceccomori, the line features everything from chairs and sofas to beds and tables. And despite being made by one of the top luxury brands in the automotive industry, all this stuff is actually quite affordable.

Apple is apparently entering the smart home segment later this year, and it appears that the company has some interesting plans. It was recently reported that the company was developing a doorbell with face unlock facility, alongside a smart home security camera that doesn't actually record the footage.

Now we finally have more details on Apple's smart home endeavors, and they are pretty interesting. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is jointly developing a smart doorbell, thermostat, and a door lock in partnership with LG. All these devices are expected to be announced at an event on October 13, followed by another event for revealing new hardware later this month.
