Celebrating the Art of Lace: Rolls-Royce Unveils One-of-One Phantom Dentelle
Rolls-Royce has once again redefined automotive luxury with the unveiling of the extraordinary Phantom Dentelle, a one-of-one bespoke masterpiece commissioned through the prestigious Private Office Dubai. This unique motor car is an exquisite homage to the delicate artistry of handmade lace, a symbol of haute couture craftsmanship translated into the pinnacle of automotive design.
Michelle Lusby, Private Office Dubai Designer at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, reflects on the inspiration behind this stunning creation:
“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... is an homage to the exquisite handmade lace used in some of the world’s leading haute couture ateliers.”
Inspired by Couture Lace: The Essence of Elegance
The Phantom Dentelle draws its creative essence from a piece of rare couture lace crafted on a ‘Leavers loom.’ This fabric features three-dimensional floral motifs and subtle pearl-like details, which serve as the foundation for the car’s delicate interior and exterior treatments. The intricate textures and gentle hues of the lace are beautifully reflected in every detail of the Phantom Dentelle.
Interior Suite: Embroidery as Art
A signature feature of the Phantom is the Gallery, a full-width fascia designed to showcase bespoke artwork. For this commission, Rolls-Royce’s skilled designers created an embroidered floral composition inspired directly by the couture lace. The embroidery is a marvel of craftsmanship, with over 160,000 stitches layering multiple techniques, thread densities, and tones—including Rose Gold, Sunrise, and Oatmeal—to recreate the soft textures of petals, ferns, and lacework.
A delicate filigree lace-like mesh is achieved with a triple-run stitch, while satin stitches provide a silk-like sheen to the floral elements. Raised embroidered accents mimic pearl details, catching the light in a way that evokes the shimmer of a couture gown under red carpet flashbulbs.
The rear Waterfall section continues this floral theme with another 70,000 stitches embroidered into the leather, accompanied by speaker grilles finished in Rose Gold that subtly complement the tones within the interior. The seats are clad in Sunrise and Grace White leathers, and the front and rear headrests proudly display embroidered “RR” monograms, all set against a backdrop of elegant Piano White veneer.
Brienny Dudley from Rolls-Royce’s Interior Trim Centre describes the effect perfectly:
“The embroidery detailing... brings a remarkable sense of movement and theatre to something entirely still.”
Exterior Coachwork: Bespoke Beauty in Every Detail
The Phantom Dentelle’s exterior shines in a distinctive two-tone bespoke finish. The lower body is painted in Crystal over Arctic White, while the upper body boasts Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn—a colour exclusive to the commissioning client. A double coachline in Sunrise gracefully flows along the side, finishing with a hand-painted leafy branch motif adorned with pearl ‘berries,’ echoing the interior’s botanical themes.
The car rides on 22” Fully Polished Disc wheels featuring body-coloured centres and Arctic White pinstripes. The iconic polished Pantheon grille is topped with the Spirit of Ecstasy finished in Rose Gold, matching the bespoke engraved treadplates for a consistent touch of precious metal throughout.
