In 2025, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars marks the centenary of Phantom — a name that has defined the pinnacle of luxury for 100 years. Across decades and continents, Phantom has remained the measure of what can be achieved when the rarest and most precious materials are placed in the hands of master craftspeople.
To mark this milestone, Rolls-Royce will soon unveil an exclusive Private Collection. For this landmark motor car, which honours the brand’s pinnacle product, designers, craftspeople and engineers pushed their artistry further than ever, developing three woodworking techniques never before seen on a Rolls-Royce: 3D marquetry, 3D ink layering and gold leafing.
• Rolls-Royce reveals the most intricate woodwork in the marque’s history
• Introduces three Rolls-Royce firsts: 3D marquetry, 3D ink layering, and 24-carat gold leafing
• Artisans undertook special training as part of a one-year development process
• Extraordinary interior reserved for an exclusive Rolls-Royce Private Collection, soon to be revealed to celebrate Phantom’s centenary
• Only 25 examples will be created, honouring Phantom’s remarkable 100-year legacy
“Our Bespoke Collective of designers, craftspeople and engineers are, simply, the best in the world at what they do. To honour Phantom in its centenary year, they pioneered groundbreaking woodworking techniques, combining 3D ink layering, 3D marquetry and gilding within a single surface. These intricate processes push materials to the limits of their natural tolerance, transforming each panel into a stunning, tactile sculpture. Having seen first-hand the challenges and possibilities of woodcraft at Rolls-Royce, I can say with certainty that the Collective has unlocked remarkable new possibilities for Bespoke, a breakthrough made possible by their extraordinary dedication to the Phantom nameplate on its 100th anniversary.”
