Specially commissioned Rolls Royce Phantom gets hand-sewn floral patterns

The extent to which you can get your Rolls Royce customized is tremendous. We have seen in the past how customers personalize their million-dirham vehicle to stand out from the crowd. This time it’s about the passion for flowers for a Stockholm-based entrepreneur, who has commissioned the Rolls Royce Phantom with a customization request stating “a car that immerses its occupants in a beguiling floral scene”.

Though the designers and engineers at Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective had a tough time thinking and bringing out something like this to match customer’s distinguishing requirements. The result is, however, brilliant. It is the ‘Rose Phantom’ which comes with hand-sewn floral patterns inside the cabin with a million embroidered stitches. 

The Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Müller Ötvös said, “The Rose Phantom is a stunning iteration of a contemporary Rolls-Royce. Our extraordinary craftspeople at the Home of Rolls-Royce have achieved, with this car, something which can only be described as sublime.” He further added, “The work of our Bespoke Collective is the best in the world. When I look at creations like this car, it is with a sense of pride that I know that these skills could not be replicated anywhere else in the world. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest Rolls-Royce Phantoms of its generation.”

Ieuan Hatherall, a designer at Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective said that the inspiration for making a floral scene inside the cabin came from the Rose Garden at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, West Sussex. This is the only place in the world where you’ll find the Phantom Rose. It is a special variety bred that’s exclusive to Rolls-Royce, courtesy Philip Harkness, a British Rode Breeder, at Harkness Roses.

On the outside, the Rose Phantom gets a Charles Blue twinned-coachline and Charles Blue twinned pinstripe on the wheels. Inside, the scene depicts the process from bud to full bloom in an asymmetrical design. It seems as if it is growing from the rear section of the car across the roof lining. The starlight headliner gets a combination of roses and fibre-optic lights that’s absolutely mesmerising to the naked eye. The stems of embroidered roses can also be seen through the glass-fronted fascia at the dash.

According to the company, the patron’s family also participated in the making of the Rose Phantom. While the patron’s daughter, who is named after a flower, Magnolia decided the exterior hue, his wife designed the umbrellas. The patron said, “I wanted to have flowers and roses everywhere. It became an amazing piece of art.”
