Hedley Studios Showcases Its Automotive Art at Iconic Summer Destinations

Hedley Studios, creator of drivable automotive art in collaboration with prestigious automotive brands, accelerated its international presence this past summer with a series of high-profile showcases and collaborations across Europe and the United States, company officials stated in a press release. In particular, key initiatives included:

Sardinia – Hedley Studios opened its first dedicated European retail space on Porto Cervo’s Waterfront, showcasing the Bugatti Baby II, Ferrari Testa Rossa J and Bentley Blower Jnr alongside well-known 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 its drivable artworks in cinematic style overlooking the Palais des Festivals. The brand also supported the 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 $366,000 for the foundation. The result underscored Hedley Studios’ ability to merge artistry, philanthropy and automotive excellence on the world stage, noted the release.

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. Surrounded by glass sides and top with integrated LEDs, the Giallo Triplostrato Ferrari Testa Rossa J with Bordeaux racing stripe & interior was a highlight of the show in the tent overlooking the Grand Prix jumper ring.

Parrish Art Museum – Hedley Studios partnered with the Parrish Art Museum, 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.

Hedley Studios Continue To Grow & Push the Boundaries of Design

Hedley Studios says that, across each destination, it has 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 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.”

Hedley Studios has produced 500 limited-edition Hedleys for clients, and they will soon be unveiling 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 rare creation epitomizes Hedley Studios’ obsessive precision and masterful craftsmanship, company officials claimed
