As a name synonymous with perfection, Rolls-Royce holds London Craft Week – a celebration of the finest craftsmanship – as a key moment in our annual calendar. For this year’s event, I am delighted to announce that our highly talented artisans and designers from the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood have created a stunning Bespoke artwork, inspired by the rich and fascinating variety of wildlife in the United Kingdom. This exquisite display of creativity and craftsmanship will be on display at our flagship showroom, in the heart of Mayfair, for the duration of the event in May." Boris Weletzky, Regional Director, United Kingdom, Europe, and Central Asia, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
The creation celebrates London Craft Week's eleventh year with an artwork inspired by British flora and fauna. Artisans from Goodwood crafted this piece, capturing nature's beauty across three times: day, evening, and night. A Kingfisher is depicted in each scene using various techniques to show its transition through these periods.
The triptych highlights woodland life at different times and showcases Rolls-Royce's bespoke expertise. This enchanting piece will be displayed in the window of their Berkeley Street showroom in Mayfair during the event.
Craftsmen from the Exterior Surface Centre dedicated over 100 hours to recreate a serene lakeside scene. It features swans gliding on water and a hovering Kingfisher painted with freehand brush techniques. Aluminium was cut and painted using airbrushing and other methods to create realistic wild reeds around the lake.
Enchanted Woodland
The Interior Trim Centre artisans spent more than 400 hours capturing evening woodland magic. They used various leather techniques to showcase wildlife diversity. Delicate flowers were painted onto Scivaro Grey leather while hardier flora was made using three-dimensional embroidery for self-supporting structures.
Stealth After Dark
Specialists from the Interior Surface Centre invested over 500 hours crafting veneer shapes for a nighttime woodland scene. A fox is shown stealthily entering through intricate marquetry. Painted veneers were used for the first time by Rolls-Royce to depict the fox's reddish fur while preserving wood grain visibility.
The Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood employs over 2,500 people who design, engineer, and handcraft luxury cars exclusively there. Since launching in 2003, it has contributed over £4 billion to the UK economy annually adding more than £500 million in value.
