“We always say that inspiration for a motor car commission can be
found anywhere, and after more than two decades, our clients
constantly prove how true this is. This stunning Phantom Dentelle,
commissioned through Private Office Dubai, is an homage to the
exquisite handmade lace used in some of the world’s leading haute
couture ateliers. Using the medium of embroidery, we translated this
delicate material into our pinnacle product, which, in its
uniqueness, beauty and craftsmanship, can be regarded as an
authentic expression of haute couture.”

Michelle Lusby, Private Office Dubai Designer, Rolls-Royce
Motor Cars





Rolls-Royce presents a one-of-one Phantom Dentelle,
commissioned by a Middle Eastern client as a gift for their father.
This deeply personal project was curated through the marque’s Private
Office Dubai.



The inspiration for this subtle and elegant commission was a
piece of couture lace. The fabric – delicate lace crafted
using a rare ‘Leavers loom’ – featured three-dimensional floral
elements and soft pearl-like details. Its intricate textures and
gentle palette formed the creative foundation for both the interior
and exterior treatment.

INTERIOR SUITE: EXQUISITE EMBROIDERY INSPIRED BY
LACE
Unique to Phantom, the Gallery runs the full width
of the motor car’s fascia and is specifically designed to display a
Bespoke artwork. For this one-of-one Phantom, Bespoke designers
created a floral composition inspired by couture lace. The embroidery
layers multiple stitch techniques, thread densities and tonal blends –
including Rose Gold, Sunrise and Oatmeal – to evoke the textures of
petals, ferns and lacework.



A filigree lace-like base is formed using a triple-run stitch,
creating a fine mesh structure. Over this, satin stitch shapes the
floral elements with a soft, silk-like sheen, while raised accents
echo the original pearl details, catching the light with subtle depth.
In total, the piece comprises more than 160,000 stitches.

The Waterfall section between the rear seats continues the
floral theme with a delicate embroidery echoing the botanical detail
in the Gallery design and comprising around 70,000 stitches. The
speaker grilles are finished in Rose Gold, subtly complementing the
embroidery tones.

“The embroidery detailing in the Gallery and rear Waterfall is
incredibly complex and designed to capture the soft lustre of
pearls. It catches the light as you move around the motor car – or
as the sunlight shifts while driving – like the shimmer of a couture
gown under flashbulbs on the red carpet. It brings a remarkable
sense of movement and theatre to something entirely still.”

Brienny Dudley, Interior Trim Centre, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars





The interior is completed with Sunrise and Grace
White leathers, embroidered ‘RR’ monograms on the front and rear
headrests, and Piano White veneer.

EXTERIOR COACHWORK: A BESPOKE HUE AND HAND-PAINTED
FLOURISH
Phantom Dentelle’s exterior is presented in a
two-tone Bespoke finish. The lower body is finished in Crystal over
Arctic White; the upper body in Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn – a
colour reserved for the commissioning client’s exclusive use. The
double coachline, rendered in Sunrise, resolves with a hand-painted
motif depicting a leafy branch with pearl ‘berries’, reflecting the
artwork theme inside.



The motor car rides on 22” Fully Polished Disc wheels with
body-coloured centres and Arctic White centre pinstripes. The polished
Pantheon Grille is crowned with the Spirit of Ecstasy in Rose Gold;
the same precious metal is used for the Bespoke engraved treadplates.
