Today, honoured guests of the Rolls-Royce Summer Studio in Sardinia
witnessed the unveiling of two remarkable Bespoke motor cars,
commissioned to reflect the atmosphere and vibrancy of one of the
world’s most exclusive and glamorous enclaves; Porto Cervo.
The essence of the marina, which resides on the Costa Smerelda,
is embodied in two Bespoke Rolls-Royces; a Wraith, the marque’s most
powerful motor car ever created, and Dawn, the recently launched and
most social of Drophead Coupés.
Patrons of the marque relish in creative freedom by
commissioning highly Bespoke personal legacies. To mark the opening of
the Summer Studio and demonstrate this art form, the Bespoke
Rolls-Royces will be themed from ‘Dusk until Dawn’.
Isobel Dando, General Manager, Future Retail, Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars, commented, “Patrons of our marque delight in inhabiting some of
the world’s most beautiful enclaves. Sardinia, and its stunning Costa
Smerelda, serves as the perfect backdrop for Rolls-Royce to host these
patrons of true luxury in an intimate setting; The Rolls-Royce Summer
Studio. The stunning Bespoke Wraith and emerald embellished Dawn,
inspired by the sights and colours of Porto Cervo, have been
commissioned in the spirit that so many of our customers delight in.”
The ambient hues of dusk are imbued on the Bespoke Wraith. A
two-tone silver exterior reflects the dimming of the day’s light,
whilst a purple feature line hints at the interior mood of this unique
motor car. The Spirit of Ecstasy, the figurine that has graced the
bonnet of each Rolls-Royce since 1911, casts a soft illumination from
her position upon the motor car’s signature grille. On opening the
coach doors, the mysterious aura of twilight, so appreciated by the
Costa Smerelda’s glamourous denizens, is depicted using shades of
blue, purple, slate and black, bestowing the feeling of calm as night
falls. The use of ostrich leather adds depth and texture to the
exquisitely furnished cabin.
In stark contrast, Dawn has been specified to capture the
vibrancy and vivid colour of the Porto Cervo seascape. A unique
emerald green exterior is offset against a distinct seashell and green
leather interior. Open-pore teak encapsulates the occupants, alluding
to the elegant sensation of a marine sojourn. A Bespoke teak boot
floor mat has been created for the luggage compartment, continuing the
nautical theme.
At the heart of this unique motor car lies art within art;
precious emeralds and mother of pearl are set into white gold and
presented on the fascia as a timeless memory of the beguiling island.
As a brooch adorns a gown, so the jewels complete the visual harmony
of this exquisite motor car. Set in the shape of the emblem of Porto
Cervo, the occupants are reminded of the magical island from which the
spirit of this motor car originated.
The Costa Smerelda is an abundant source of inspiration for
artisans the world over. London-based tattoo artist Mo Coppoletta was
party to such inspiration during the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Design team’s
creative meetings for the curation of these two motor cars. Himself an
artisan held in the highest regard, Coppoletta mused over exquisite
blank canvases – two leather Rolls-Royce headrests – resulting in
tattooed works of art which will be presented alongside the Dusk until
Dawn configuration in The Summer Studio.
Coppoletta commented, “The colours and atmosphere of Porto Cervo
are truly inspiring. The designs I have created for Rolls-Royce evoke
the emotion experienced by observing this magical place from the
harbour of Promenade du Port.”
The Rolls-Royce Summer Studio in Porto Cervo will be open until
September 2016.
By appointment for patrons of true luxury.
