Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled a one-of-one Phantom Dentelle, a bespoke commission inspired by haute couture lace and created as a personal gift from a Middle Eastern client to their father. The unique motor car was developed through the marque’s Private Office in Dubai, an invitation-only commissioning space for clients in the region.
The design of Phantom Dentelle takes its cues from a handcrafted lace fabric woven using a rare ‘Leavers loom’, known for producing intricate three-dimensional floral patterns and pearl-like details. This textile inspired both the vehicle’s exterior and interior design features.
Inside the Phantom, the Gallery, a feature exclusive to the model and running the full width of the fascia, houses an embroidered artwork made up of over 160,000 stitches. Created using eight embroidery techniques, the piece incorporates tonal shades of Rose Gold, Sunrise and Oatmeal to echo the delicacy of petals and lace. A triple-run stitch forms a filigree base, while satin stitching and raised threadwork create a lustrous, layered effect.
Complementing the Gallery, the rear Waterfall section features an additional 70,000 stitches in a design that reflects the lace motif. Rose Gold speaker grilles subtly match the embroidery tones, while the interior is finished with Sunrise and Grace White leathers, embroidered ‘RR’ monograms, and Piano White veneer.
The exterior features a bespoke two-tone colour scheme. The lower body is finished in Crystal over Arctic White, while the upper body uses Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn, a hue exclusive to the commissioning client. A hand-painted coachline in Sunrise includes a branch motif with pearl-like ‘berries’, linking the exterior to the interior theme. The vehicle rides on 22-inch Fully Polished Disc wheels and features a Rose Gold Spirit of Ecstasy and matching treadplates.
Phantom Dentelle highlights Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke capabilities and reinforces the brand’s ongoing relationship with Middle Eastern clients through Private Office Dubai. The commission reflects a continued focus on translating personal inspirations into automotive design through handcrafted detail and materials.
Fuel consumption and emissions figures for the Phantom Dentelle are in line with the standard Phantom: WLTP combined fuel consumption is between 17.4 and 18.1 mpg, with CO₂ emissions ranging from 353 to 365 g/km.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle remains a one-off creation, underscoring the brand’s commitment to personalisation and craftsmanship.
