“My love for the outdoors has been a driving force behind both my
personal passions  and professional success. The inspiration for
this commission came from a field of daisies on my favourite trail
in the High Tatras mountains – a place I return to when I need to
clear my thoughts.  I’m continuously amazed not only by the beauty
but the resilience of this flower that seems to thrive in the face
of nature’s challenges. I envisioned Cullinan Daisy as a symbol of
perseverance – balancing strength with serenity”.

Commissioning Client, Cullinan Daisy






“This commission challenged us to explore how natural motifs can
be translated through craft and materiality. From the delicately
etched Blackwood to the daisy detail hidden inside the umbrellas, we
told the client’s remarkable story through unexpected textures and
an entirely new palette. Cullinan Daisy is quietly confident, rich
in symbolism, yet modern in execution. It also represents a
different kind of Bespoke language where emotion is
captured through restrained and thoughtful contrasts.”

Martina Starke, General Manager, Bespoke Design, Rolls-Royce
Motor Cars

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presents its latest Bespoke
commission, Cullinan Daisy – a striking one-of-one Black Badge
Cullinan Series II reflecting the commissioning client’s love of
hiking and the outdoors. Drawing inspiration from a field of daisies
on the client’s favourite trail in the High Tatras mountains, Cullinan
Daisy represents resilience and perseverance – much like a daisy that
thrives in a variety of conditions. Commissioned by an individual who
built their success in the outdoor and adventure equipment sector,
Cullinan Daisy symbolises their path to success.

EXTERIOR: BALANCING POTENCY AND RESILIENCE
The
daisy flower appears as a Coachline motif, meticulously hand-painted
to complement the single Coachline applied over the Powder Blue
Exterior. The subtle colour palette provides a striking contrast to
the darkened Black Badge Pantheon Grille, Spirit of Ecstasy and
exterior brightwork.

INTERIOR SUITE: ELEGANCE AND COMPLEXITY
Inside,
the daisy motif adorns the front fascia and the waterfall section
between the rear seats. The design is meticulously applied to the
Blackwood surface using a sandblasting technique. To create the
design, the wood is subjected to a precision blasting process in which
a stream of fine mineral particles is directed at the veneer, which
delicately etches away microscopic layers of the surface. The
interplay of light and shadow across the sculpted surface creates a
three-dimensional effect, adding visual interest to the finished piece.

The Blackwood veneers are complemented by a subtle three-colour
interior palette. The main leather hue is Fleet Blue, which extends to
the Rotary Controls and B and C pillars. It is complemented by Selby
Grey and Black leathers, with Fleet Blue seat piping and Selby Grey
contrast stitching and headrest monograms. The interior is completed
with Bespoke Illuminated Treadplates with a daisy design.

BESPOKE UMBRELLAS: FLOWERS IN THE RAIN
The
daisy motif also graces the inside of the Bespoke umbrellas concealed
in Cullinan’s rear Coach Doors. The playful pattern can only be seen
on the interior of the umbrellas, recalling the ambience of a daisy
field in full bloom on a rainy day.

BESPOKE STARLIGHT HEADLINER: A WINDOW INTO THE
HEAVENS
Cullinan Daisy is fitted with a Bespoke
Starlight Headliner, capturing four of the great constellations that
dominate the night sky in northern latitudes: Ursa Major, also known
as the Great Bear, the Plough, and the Big Dipper; Ursa Minor, which
includes Polaris, or the North Star; Gemini, clearly distinguished by
the bright stars, Castor and Pollux; and Taurus, ‘the Bull’,
identified by the red giant Aldebaran and the Pleiades star cluster.

RECREATION MODULE: ADVENTURES AWAIT 

Cullinan Daisy is completed with a Recreation Module – an
automatically-deployable storage compartment mounted on the luggage
compartment floor, designed to house the client’s favourite hiking equipment.
