Michelle Lusby, designer Private Office Dubai, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rolls-Royce presents a unique Phantom Dentelle, commissioned by a customer from the Middle East as a gift for his father. This deeply personal project was carried out through the brand’s Private Office Dubai. The inspiration for this subtle and elegant order was a couture lace piece. The material – delicate lace made using a rare “Leavers” loom – featured three-dimensional floral elements and soft pearl-like details. Its complex textures and delicate palette formed the creative foundation for both interior and exterior treatment.
Rolls-Royce and Sanlorenzo go further
“We always say that inspiration for a car order can be found anywhere, and after more than two decades, our customers are constantly proving how true this is. This stunning Phantom Dentelle, commissioned through Private Office Dubai, is a tribute to the exquisite handmade lace used in some of the world’s leading haute couture ateliers. Using embroidery, we have transposed this delicate material into our flagship product, which, through its uniqueness, beauty and craftsmanship, can be considered an authentic expression of haute couture.”
A true Bespoke work of art
Unique to Phantom, the Gallery spans the entire width of the car’s fascia and is specially designed to display a Bespoke artwork. For this unique Phantom, Bespoke designers have created a floral arrangement inspired by couture lace.
The embroidery combines multiple stitching techniques, thread densities, and blends of tones—including Rose Gold, Sunrise, and Oatmeal—to evoke the textures of petals, ferns, and lace. A lace-like filigree base is formed using a triple stitch, creating a fine mesh structure. On top of this, the satin stitching shapes the floral elements with a soft, silk-like sheen, while the embossed accents reflect the original details in the pearls, capturing the light with subtle depth. In total, the piece comprises over 160,000 stitches.
The Waterfall section between the rear seats continues the floral theme with delicate embroidery reminiscent of botanical details in the Gallery’s design and comprises approximately 70,000 stitches. The speaker grilles are finished in Rose Gold, subtly complementing the embroidery tones. “The embroidery details in the Gallery and the Back Waterfall are incredibly intricate and designed to capture the delicate brilliance of the pearls. It catches the light as you move around the car – or as the sunlight changes while driving – like the glow of a couture dress under flashes on the red carpet. It brings a remarkable sense of movement and theatre to something completely still,” says Brienny Dudley, Interior Decoration Centre, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
The interior is completed with Sunrise and Grace White leather upholstery, embroidered “RR” monograms on the front and rear headrests, and Piano White veneer.
Custom shade for bodywork and hand-painted flowers
The exterior of Phantom Dentelle is presented in a two-tone Bespoke finish. The lower part of the body is finished in Crystal over Arctic White; the upper part of the body in Crystal over the Palais Nemasker Dawn – a colour reserved for the exclusive use of the customer ordering the bodywork.
The double body line, made in Sunrise, is resolved with a hand-painted motif depicting a leafy branch with pearl “berries”, reflecting the artistic theme inside. The car runs on fully polished 22″ disc wheels, with body-coloured centres and centre stripes in arctic white. The polished Pantheon grille is crowned with Spirit of Ecstasy in rose gold; The same precious metal is also used for custom-engraved threshold plates.
