The British luxury car maker Rolls-Royce has developed a one-off Phantom Cherry Blossom for a Japanese client that pays tribute to Japan's Sakura season and the important tradition of Hanami-"Flower Viewing."
In contrast, the bespoke Phantom, finished in two-tone Crystal over Arctic White coloration, sports a hand-painted coachline decorated with a Cherry Blossom motif. The major talking point, however, would be the rear cabin of the vehicle. A bespoke starlight headliner, which features embroidery work of more than 2.50 lakh stitches featuring cherry boughs adorned with white blossoms, is present inside the Phantom Cherry Blossom. The design flows from the rear of the cabin toward the front, making rear seat occupants feel as if they were seated under the Sakura tree.
As the name of the creation suggests, the Phantom features bespoke embroidery work within the cabin inspired by the Sakura tree and blossoms.
The highlight of the one-off Phantom is the rear cabin, which features a cherry blossom tree embroidered into the headliner.
The embroidered tree is accentuated by three-dimensional embroidered cherry blossoms on the headliner, door cards, and even the privacy divider between the first and second rows. Rolls-Royce says that the satin-stitched flowers are designed to 'capture the light at different angles with a jewel-like quality.' The Sakura tree embroidery comprises over 2.5 lakh stitches and is accentuated by three-dimensional petals on the privacy divider and side panels.
"It took six months just for this headliner and also has employed the traditional Japanese tatami stitch weaving techniques," says Rolls-Royce.
This Phantom Cherry Blossom before becoming a particular creation is the latest addition to Rolls-Royce's long line of bespoke creations.
