From Porto Cervo to Cannes, the Hampton Classic to the Parrish Art Museum, Hedley Studios Continues to Bring Automotive Art to the World's Most Iconic Summer Destinations

Sardinia – Hedley Studios opened its first dedicated European retail space on Porto Cervo's prestigious Waterfront, showcasing the Bugatti Baby II, Ferrari Testa Rossa J, and Bentley Blower Jnr alongside the world's most prestigious names in luxury.

Cannes – During the Cannes Film Festival, Hedley Studios launched a pop-up showroom at the IGY Vieux Port de Cannes Marina, presenting all four of Hedley Studios' drivable artworks in cinematic style overlooking the Palais des Festivals. The brand also supported the prestigious amfAR Gala Cannes at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, donating a limited-edition Monaco Grand Prix version of the Bugatti Baby II, commemorating the first Bugatti Type 35 to win the legendary race. The model was auctioned by the legendary Simon de Pury, raising an impressive $366,000 (€325,000) for the foundation. The result underscored Hedley Studios' ability to merge artistry, philanthropy and automotive excellence on the world stage.

Hampton Classic – At the Hampton Classic Horse Show – the elite equestrian competition celebrating its 50th anniversary, Hedley Studios took home the "Most Innovative" award in the annual VIP Tabletop Competition, building a transparent dining tablescape around a Ferrari Testa Rossa J. The Hedley Studios handcrafted work of drivable art made for an extraordinary centerpiece. Surrounded by glass sides and top with integrated LEDs, the Giallo Triplostrato Ferrari Testa Rossa J with Bordeaux racing stripe & interior stole the show in the tent overlooking the Grand Prix jumper ring.

Parrish Art Museum – Hedley Studios partnered with the Parrish Art Museum to bring its masterpieces to the Hamptons' revered cultural destination, with highlights including Ben Hedley's collectors' talk and the museum's Midsummer Gala, where guests encountered Hedley Studios' creations in the midst of the Hamptons' most celebrated cultural event.

Across each destination, Hedley Studios connected with an international audience of ultra-high-net-worth investors, collectors, and cultural tastemakers, reinforcing its position as the only studio in the world officially licensed by Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti and Ferrari. Hedley Studios possesses a global owner base, spanning six continents and over 60 countries. This privileged community of art collectors and classic car aficionados are united by an appreciation for rare, drivable works that merge heritage with contemporary culture.

"This summer marked a pivotal chapter in our journey," said Ben Hedley, Founder and CEO of Hedley Studios. "From Sardinia to the Hamptons, we have been privileged to share our creations in the world's most discerning environments. These experiences highlight our vision to merge heritage, craftsmanship and innovation on a global scale – and this is only the beginning. In our next chapter, Hedley Studios will continue to push the boundaries of design, bringing our vision to new destinations and an even broader global audience."

Hedley Studios also secured additional financial support from Island Capital Group this past August. Led by Founder, Chairman and CEO Andrew Farkas, Island Capital initially invested in the business in 2023. Commenting on the new investment, Mr. Farkas said, "Hedley Studios continues to position itself as a leader in the creation of luxury, drivable artworks. We are thrilled to be part of their growth journey and look forward to a long and successful partnership."

The company has produced 500 limited edition Hedleys for clients in more than 60 countries. As the summer comes to a close, the company is looking ahead to continued growth and new collaborations, further cementing its reputation as the leader in luxury, drivable artworks. This momentum begins with the unveiling of the Ferrari Testa Rossa J 'Lucybelle II', a strictly limited special edition vehicle. Handcrafted with a race-weathered patina that captures the spirit of Ferrari's 1958 Le Mans privateer entry, this exceptionally rare creation epitomizes Hedley Studios' obsessive precision and masterful craftsmanship.
