Ghost Series II – Interior Design Fascinates with New Materials
The Ghost Series II stands out in its interior design with a new rayon fabric made from bamboo that Rolls-Royce calls “Duality Twill”. The material was inspired by the extensive bamboo grove in Le Jardin des Méditerranées on the Côte d’Azur, which neighbours Sir Henry Royce’s former winter home, Villa Mimosa. The Twill fabric is embroidered with an artistic “Duality” graphic. Designed as an abstract interpretation of the two intertwined “R”s of the brand’s founders, the graphic is inspired by the rope-weaving patterns on their sailboats, subtly reflecting the maritime spirit of the French Riviera.
A pattern was designed from 18 kilometers of thread
A Duality Twill interior design is the result of 2.2 million stitches, 18 kilometers of thread, and 20 hours of meticulous craftsmanship.
Series II features a new contemporary crafting technique, “Placed Perforation” (Meticulously crafted leather fabric) into its design. This innovative application allows craftsmen to create works of art using the seats as a canvas. Inspired by the shapes and shadows of the changing clouds over the Rolls-Royce headquarters in Goodwood, the designers devised a pattern consisting of a total of 0.8 precise perforations measuring between 1.2 and 107.000 millimetres in diameter.
