Rolls-Royce Phantom Metropolitan Collection Brings Luxury to Paris
Rolls-Royce has drawn inspiration from today’s modern metropolises.
Unveiled at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Metropolitan Collection will be limited to just 20 units and features intricate art of inlaying small pieces of wood veneer to form decorative motifs. In the rear, the Phantom’s iconic picnic table features an elevated view of the city that has been created with 500 individual wood veneer pieces. With the tables closed, a different perspective of the cityscape is offered. The unique theme carried into the interior with a specially developed Aetherius Grey leather interior that was created to reflect the color palette of a modern city. On the central rear seat are 6,800 two-tone stitches that depict an abstract image of a skyscraper.
“I can think of no more fitting location than Paris to debut this remarkable new motor car. This is a city that echoes Rolls-Royce’s very special brand promise in perfectly combining the timeless and modern in a manner that celebrates the art of the master craftsperson,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Our customers across the globe delight in challenging our designers and craftspeople to create true, one-of-a-kind pieces of automotive art. This latest Collection serves to showcase the extraordinary scope for Bespoke personalisation afforded to every patron of the marque.”
