HEDLEY STUDIOS OPENS FIRST DEDICATED RETAIL SPACE IN EUROPE ON THE WATERFRONT IN PORTO CERVO, SARDINIA
Hedley Studios proudly announced the opening of its first dedicated European retail space in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. From June 28th to September 7th, the brand takes residence on the iconic Waterfront, Promenade du Port - an exclusive destination in the heart of Costa Smeralda.
Positioned among a curated mix of the world’s most prestigious names such as Riva, Kiton, Technogym, Assouline, and Nikki Beach, Hedley Studios joined the conversation as a definitive voice in luxury and design culture. This strategic seasonal presence affirmed the studio’s international growth and its alignment with excellence in craftsmanship, engineering and art.
Visitors to the Porto Cervo boutique will experience an immersive presentation of Hedley Studios’ ethos and portfolio. The space features a display of the studio’s flagship creations, offering guests the opportunity to engage directly with some of the most celebrated reinterpretations of automotive icons. Guests and visitors can sample and experience the meticulous attention to detail that goes into each piece, exploring a range of customisable leather and paint options to configure their own unique and bespoke Hedley Studios piece.
The Bugatti Baby II, developed in close partnership with Bugatti, is a fully electric tribute to the legendary Type 35. A modern evolution of the original Bugatti Baby, this junior-scale masterpiece combines historic beauty with contemporary performance and precision. It is designed to be enjoyed as both a driveable piece of automotive legend and an example of supreme automotive art, appreciated by all generations.
Alongside it, the Ferrari Testa Rossa J, a 75% scale replica of the revered 1957 250 Testa Rossa, is on display. Created in collaboration with Ferrari and built entirely by hand, this electric model blends raw racing legacy with luxury materials, seamlessly capturing the soul of one of Ferrari’s most iconic creations.
Also featured is the Bentley Blower Jnr, inspired by the 1929 supercharged 4½ Litre “Blower” Bentley. This reinterpretation pays homage to the daring innovation of the pre-war era, reengineered into an electric format that retains every ounce of its charisma, elegance, and mechanical spirit.
The Porto Cervo space has been designed to offer both a retail experience and a point of connection - a place where clients and collectors can encounter Hedley Studios’ creations in an intimate and dynamic setting, alongside yachts, books, machines and ideas that inspire them.
Ben Hedley, CEO and Founder of Hedley Studios, commented: “Porto Cervo represents a natural home for Hedley Studios - where the sea, speed and style intersect. This space allows us to showcase the soul of our brand to a truly international audience, in an environment that shares our values of elegance, craftsmanship and experience. We’re thrilled to bring our carefully designed and engineered pieces of automotive artwork to the picturesque and vibrant locale of Sardinia.”
More than a storefront, this summer destination signals a new chapter: a tangible celebration of Hedley Studios’ evolution from atelier to icon. The team looks forward to welcoming guests throughout the summer season on the Promenade du Port.
