The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead is one of the most iconic and rare convertibles of its era. We carried out a complete restyling project on this 2008 model, based on a specific request from the customer: to update the car’s aesthetics while preserving its original elegance, with special attention to the interior to make it contemporary and absolutely unique.

On the outside, the Phantom Drophead retains its aristocratic presence, enhanced by targeted details that refresh its stylistic language: new LED headlights and a dedicated coachline anticipate the character of the project without altering the balance of proportions.

However, it is in the interior that this Bespoke Edition expresses its true identity. In collaboration with our sister company D-Tales Milano, we have reimagined the “horizon” in front of the driver with a continuous inlay that departs from traditional burl wood and introduces a more contemporary and graphic aesthetic. At the heart of the work is a complex geometric pattern, developed in metal and wood, made with extremely tight tolerances to adapt rigid materials to curved and dynamic surfaces.

The design is not limited to the dashboard: it continues consistently across several elements of the interior, from the dashboard to the tonneau cover, creating a visual and material continuity that is rare in cars of this calibre. The result is a studied tactile and visual contrast with the orange upholstery: a vibrant colour choice that showcases the inlay and amplifies the perception of a unique piece.

This project represents the meeting point between great British engineering and a typically Italian sensibility of execution: respect for heritage, creative courage and craftsmanship pushed to the limit.
