Visualize It..Craft It

 

As Rolls-Royce’s largest market for over two decades, North America has witnessed a remarkable surge in Bespoke complexity and creativity in the past three years. Now, with the opening of Private Office New York, the brand’s latest creative outpost joins an elite network that already includes locations in Shanghai, Dubai, and the ‘original’ Private Office at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood. A fifth office is slated to open in Seoul by the end of the year.

Nestled in the heart of New York City’s fashion-forward Meatpacking District, Rolls-Royce provides North American clients the unique opportunity to collaborate directly with a U.S. based designer and a specialist client experience manager. Through insightful conversation and meticulous research, the experts at the Private Office work closely with each client to understand their wishes, desires, and dreams. The luxurious studio features an extensive collection of samples—fabrics, paints, leathers, and textiles an array of colors and finishes—alongside locally sourced artworks and artifacts, all thoughtfully curated to inspire the creative process. Throughout this journey, designers and clients collaborate seamlessly to craft a bespoke Rolls-Royce that embodies the individual’s tastes and personality. Once the initial design is finalized, they jointly track the commission’s progress, maintaining direct communication with the artisans in Goodwood, who are entrusted with transforming these visions into a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

1 Of 1 Is Your Reality

 

To put this remarkable collaboration between designer and owner to the test, we began with a Rolls-Royce Phantom, embarking on the creation of a one-of-a-kind special commission: the Panton Phantom. Throughout this process, in-house designer Cara Vitry worked closely with Ken Panton to craft a bespoke Rolls-Royce that truly reflects his unique tastes and personality. Now that the initial design has been finalized, they will continue to work together, tracking the progress of the commission and maintaining direct communication with the artisans in Goodwood, who are entrusted with bringing Ken’s vision to life in the form of the exclusive Panton Phantom.

Thanks to the opening of Private Office New York clients have access to future Rolls-Royce Private Collections without needing to travel to England. These exclusive, themed collections highlight the artistry of the Bespoke Collective, with each project extending inspiring narratives through exceptional craft, design, and engineering. A showcase for the marque’s creative and technical capabilities, these collections inspire clients to envision and pursue ever-more elaborate personal creations.
