Every now and then a car steals the
spotlight and surely this one has. e
Serenity is the latest one-off commission to
come from the Bespoke Design Team that
worked with other Rolls-Royce experts
and master craftsmen who know that
Rolls-Royce customers desire extraordinary
distinguishing features to make their cars
completely unique. Beginning with the
seductive exterior and leading one into
the interior driver's compartment with
mother-of-pearl applied to the driver's
instrument dials, etched with concentric
circles suggestive of raked gravel seen in
Japanese gardens, to the inlaid rubies that
reflect the color of the hand appliqued and
painted cherry blossoms and branches on
the silk lining.
e silk fabric itself was dyed by hand
in the subtlest shade of mint green – a
calming and serene color. Silk and the
study of it from ancient times to the
present became the new definition of
luxury and one that became the canvas
for the specialists who embroidered each
cherry blossom onto the 33 feet of delicate
fabric – enough to cover the interior.
Craftsmen and women first embroidered
the copper-colored branches and white
e marque's Bespoke Design team
took inspiration from the opulent
interiors of Rolls-Royces that
have conveyed Kings and Queens,
Emperors and Empresses and world
leaders. Add to this, contemporary
interpretations of furniture design
combined with Japanese Royal robe
motifs and Rolls-Royce designers
have delivered a truly innovative,
thoroughly modern and tranquil
Rolls-Royce interior.
