Bill Bensley
McGuire, a pioneer of naturally luxurious fine furniture, is pleased to introduce the Bill Bensley Collection, a 30-piece ensemble inspired by the rare and threatened wildlife of Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, set to debut at High Point Market in October 2025. From elephants and clouded leopards to pangolins, sambars, and the elusive kouprey, the collection interprets the elegance, vitality, and strength of these extraordinary creatures through sculptural, contemporary furniture.
The Bill Bensley Collection for McGuire embodies the brand’s modern, boundary-breaking design ethos, transforming raw, elemental materials into sculptural forms that honor both nature and craft. Spanning tables, seating, and accent pieces, the collection showcases rich, organic textures— black and brown petrified wood with its ancient strength, luminous crystal white agate reminiscent of rainforest waterfalls, sandblasted oak that reveals the beauty of natural grain, and handwoven rattan carefully steam-bent by artisans in a nod to McGuire’s heritage. These materials are woven together in bold yet functional designs, creating pieces that are as much art as they are furniture.
Informed by Bensley’s immersive journeys through the Cardamom Rainforest, the collection captures the profound beauty and diversity of this extraordinary ecosystem. Each piece stands as a tribute to the rainforest’s lush landscapes and intricate balance of life, translating its essence into enduring, functional art. Beyond design, the collection serves as a call to conservation—bringing the wild, untamed spirit of the Cardamoms into the home while fostering awareness and inspiring stewardship of Southeast Asia’s last great rainforest.
Internationally acclaimed for his bold and imaginative approach, Bensley is an architect, landscape architect, and interior designer. Through his Bangkok- and Bali-based studios, BENSLEY, he has developed a distinctive design language that blends storytelling, heritage craft, and sustainability. From tented camps in the Cardamom Mountains to celebrated resorts across Asia, his work consistently demonstrates a vision of luxury that coexists with conservation, aligning seamlessly with McGuire’s philosophy of naturally luxurious design.
