- Rolls-Royce Bespoke Serenity Phantom Extended Wheelbase Production.
As with the creation of every Rolls-Royce, the genesis of Serenity and its blossom motif began with a blank piece of paper. However, unlike any other Rolls-Royce, it also began with a blank bolt of the finest hand-woven silk.
In order to create this totally one-off bolt of silk for Serenity, the Bespoke team looked to Suzhou, China, the town renowned for its creation of imperial embroidery. The team sourced the unspun silk thread and had it hand-dyed by the Chinese craftspeople who have been creating beautiful silks for centuries.
It was then transported to one of Britain’s oldest mills, based in Essex, to be hand-woven into just 10 metres of the fabric - enough to clothe the interior of Serenity - in a process that took two days or two hours per meter of fabric. The numerous colours of silk thread were painstakingly blended into the highest quality warp which has 140 threads per centimetre to result in the lustrous Smoke Green colour of the underlying silk fabric.
Once prepared, the plain Smoke Green silk was transferred to London where the blossom motif designed by Haye and Lusby - a uniquely modern take on centuries-old silk Chinoiserie - began to flourish across the fabric as British and Chinese craftspeople embroidered their vision of copper-coloured branches and white petals.
The final touch was the detailed petal by petal hand-painting of crimson blossoms directly onto the silk. The resulting panels and swatches that have formed the centrepiece of Serenity would take up to 600 hours of work per panel.
The style of painting employed in the design of the Serenity silk is a centuries-old technique known as 'unconscious painting'. Much of Japanese painting technique is learned through very fine and detailed rendering of classical forms within nature; branches, leaves, flowers, bamboo etc.
The work can be painstaking with the same form rendered again and again. The purpose of this repetition is to imbue in the artist an innate understanding of these natural forms until their balance and nature is understood without thought.
In order to paint a calm and beautiful image the artist must be calm of mind. Mood becomes all important as it will influence the balance and mood of the work. A meditative state results where the brush can flow freely in the artist’s hand - a state of ‘unconscious painting’. So in preparing to paint the panels for Serenity, the serene state of mind was all important. The branches needed to have life, movement, spontaneity - but with grace and calm.
Of course, the creation of the most opulent interior of any luxury car could not simply rely on beautiful silk upholstery. Taking its cue from the world of modern furniture design, the rear occupants’ elevated and powerful seating position has been accentuated with the valances of the seats made from rare Smoked Cherrywood. Reminding one of the drivers’ position in the early 1900’s motor car, the seats in the front of the car are clothed in Arctic White leather.
Smoked Cherrywood continues the Oriental theme within the cabin, applied the Serenity’s door cappings, dash fascia and rear centre console, but further embellished by another beautiful Far-Eastern wood - Bamboo - with the highly skilled application of Bamboo cross-banding.
In addition, the blossom motif from the silk is recreated through the finest marquetry on the rear door cappings through the use of Mother of Pearl, which is laser-cut and hand-applied, petal by petal into the wood. Mother of Pearl is created when two substances, one mineral and the other organic, combine. Tiny hexagonal plates of aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate, are arranged in layers alternating with conchiolin, a flexible protein similar to silk that is secreted by the mollusk.
This theme is continued in the driver’s compartment of the car with Mother of Pearl applied to the face of Bespoke Serenity’s clock and the driver’s instrument dials. This Mother of Pearl face is etched with concentric circles redolent of the raked gravel seen in Japanese gardens, and is inlaid with hand-applied rubies which echo the colour of the hand-painted flowers in the silk lining.
Continuing the theme of ultimate luxury, the luggage compartment of Serenity is lined in Arctic White leather with an Arctic White carpet.
As a final touch, two parasols featuring the Serenity motif are held by Bespoke leather loops incorporated into the boot lid.
The lustre of Phantom Serenity’s exterior dazzles with its powerful and noble presence.
Its Bespoke Mother of Pearl paint is the most expensive one-off paint ever developed by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. It has been added in a three stage pearl effect and hand-polished for 12 hours by the craftspeople at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood to deliver this shimmering presence.
Those people are artist. ..amazing skills and patient.
Man, that is one tastefully conceptualised Phantom, created immaculately to perfection.
The interior is jaw dropping!
Hats off to hard work of the people making this beauty
God The Rolls-Royce really is a fine piece of Art
The dashboard is so simple. No confusing led screens 100s of unwanted buttons
Behind the clock there is an LED screen... It's a complex car
It's meant to be timeless. You don't want to have the car 10 years later and have people go inside and laugh at how obsolete it is.
@@stockloc Some people already have laughed because it isn't timeless. No one laughs at my Silver Cloud III, because that is classic and timeless.
@@mscott3918 agreed. New lux cars are just glitter balls that won't last more than 10 years
@@mscott3918 You're right in parts, but no car dash is truly timeless. When you enter your silver cloud you know that it's an old car, and people has at times laughed at it for being old. Now it has come around again and now it's a true classic. I bet we look at the phantom in the same way in 50 odd years.
Wow: this is incredibly beautiful! I often dream that I own such a car !!!!
I fall for Rolls Royce !!! But this car is so beautifully beautifully made !!!!! yes: Very unique!
this is a unique gem beautiful example wonderful car beautiful rare gem
I can't even handle threading a needle! Nice work guys.
Amazing the amount of skilled hand work that goes into each car and yet they still go down in value after purchase.
Nice to see they are using a magnifying glass bought from Lidl...
How hard would it be for these guys , everytime they see a damged or poorly maintained Rolls Royce.
No one maintains a rolls royce poorly XD
Maybe not much. These people may be paid very well, and like any job sometimes it may even be routine.
Excellent choose of music
MashAllah Excellent
wow never thought i’d see mother of pearl in a car
This is beautiful..
One day I will buy my own RR
Excellent no words to Express.......
im going out tomorrow and painting a cactus on my 1996 tacoma .....
This is quality unlike Cadilac and Acura
AMAZING ‼️🤩
The ultimate PHANTOM... But still prefer the BENTLEY MULSANNE.
Beautiful
Very very sick
Amazing works of Art
Freakin perfect!
😱😱😱It’s so awesome to see 🌸 ☺️💋❤️🤗
Not very often you can use 'Fantastic, but hideous' together is it?
LarryUK
Oh, tes you can. Tate that outfit you're wearing right now!
Nice work. Just hope the Rolls doesn’t get stolen or in a bad accident.
It's not a car, it's a castle.
Sublime
神経は大変使いますが、一つ一つの作業に責任とやり後耐えの有る仕事ですね！完敗は無くても、その時の精一杯の作品だと思う、本当は作業着では無くても私服に近い服装にメーカーのロゴ入りのエプロンで仕事出来ると良いと思います！着替えの手間を省き自然な気持ちで作業に取り組むのも良いと思います！作業着は汚れるからで、整理され綺麗な環境には私服かワイシャツとズボンにエプロンの方が良い、急なお客対応にも清潔感が有り良いとは思います！伴優より
I enjoyed Thanks
I'm gonna buy one
One day
Go and fight for this
Kalite 😍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful workmanship. Globalisation has brought many problems but at least the many rich people make this possible
Which version of the 5th symphony is this?? Way too fast
that dashboard lol
美しい、ただただ美しい
The Germans took a great British brand and made it so much better.
That's why we should remain in the EU.
In fact we should hand over the whole country and its governance to the Krauts.
After all, the Royal family is German anyway .
I did vote to remain.
I say we ought to remain with the Krauts.
They are a splendid bunch.
Actually BMW destroyed the British brand. Compared to rolls hayday, the German parent company really cheapened the manufacturing process. Of course they show you the best bits of the handcrafting but bmw will often recycle parts found in their plebian cars
Being german I support your idea.
@@MrCTruck That's true. The current range is some of the ugliest cars ever built. The work on this car is well executed and shows that we have great craftsmen and women in the UK. The real Rolls Royce company would never have allowed some of the features that current models have, like the ridiculous starlight roof. They are clearly not aiming at their traditional market. None of the people I know who would usually have a Rolls Royce have the new ones. They either go for a Bentley or, like me, stick with the ones they have had for years. I have had a 1964 Silver Cloud III since 1982 and, despite being offered a test drive in a Phantom, won't be swapping.
Interesting interior design, but I’d opt for the LED light “”sky at night” headliner instead
or use the LED to pick out highlights on the design, like sparkling dew drops in the dawn light? Your wish is their command :)
J PR
But it is so Gosche! At a cost of £4,000.00 the twinkle lights make the Phantom look like a Low Rider!
Waaaaaawo
That's why it takes 6 months to make a rolls Royce and only 12 hours to make a Toyota😂😂😂😂
royy Toyota still makes great reliable cars
Samir Raji Senhaji
Yes, but a Rolls Royce won't attack Pearl Harbor... Maybe Pearl Schwatz, but never Pearl Harbor!l
But rolls is noh same catégorie with Toyota
@@richardronk4445 Lol UK has had two wars with america.
But toyota will last 100 times longer
l'élégance et la prestance: gentleman .:.153.:.7
Alaram settings is their... ?.....
its got a power headrest! my Rolls Royce got one too!.... can't pass up a minute to let people know you have a Rolls! .....sad....
Sure bud, you definitely have a Rolls Royce.
Why does it look like a 8th grade craft project?
Renascentis ornament design on bmw s7 whit a front gril of lux brand.sorry say but this is my opinion:-this the definiton is kitsch.
Oh lol, the backing material is particle board with veneer on top. Not solid wood.
It's wood ON a particle board.
Cato Rodi
You are a Cretan! It's not particle board. Depending on it's use and location, it is either walnut, pecan, or maltheren. Everyone knows that. Even you, now!
@@richardronk4445 Actually it is a form of particle board, an engineered hardboard. It is a far more stable surface upon which to apply inlay.
CZECH LIKOS
All this for a car? Go buy a damm honda fit and be done with it! I valet cars in atlanta ga and i will never look at a rolls royce the same! Much respect for you guys and your work! Thanks
Awful Taste But Great Execution
should spend that much time keeping the engine light off,,,
All this with plastic engine from BMW.
expensive plywood
挺好个劳斯莱斯 可惜啊 糟蹋了
Or for $500 you can buy some dope fabric and do it 😂😂
“Dope Fabric” isn’t mother of pearl, oak and walnut wood, and it’s certainly not hand painted.
Eat the rich, is all I'm sayin
That plastic clock makes it look cheap
B G
Issn't plastic, it's mother of pearl! And if you've ever seen Pearl's mother, she's anything but cheap, chap!
Totally ridiculous. No one needs a car like that.
Not if they actually have money and can spend it on whatever they want..
Duke Junior
Yes they do. This one was a special order for the author, producer, and director of Tora, Tora, Tora!
The Bentley is a much better looking car.
RR is made by BMW.
No it is made by Rolls Royce and owned by BMW...
design look inferior inside....
doesn't feel advanced technology
Useless decoration 🤷🏻♂️
I need upvotes because reasons...
no
