Rolls-Royce Phantom Syntopia

Iris van Herpen and Rolls-Royce

Haute Couture-Inspired Masterpiece

Phantom Syntopia

From The House Of Rolls-Royce

This Haute Couture-inspired masterpiece was created in collaboration with Haute Couturè Iris van Herpen. Just a few months after our new Phantom first drive, Rolls -Royce has created the ultimate example of personalization. Based on the Phantom Extended, this is the most technically complex commission ever undertaken by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective. Now, after four years of continuous development, this extraordinary and unique creation is complete; it will soon take its place in the brand’s distinct collection.

Phantom Syntopia takes its name from Iris van Herpen’s landmark 2018 collection, designed on the principles of biomimicry in which art is inspired by patterns and shapes found in nature.. Like the collection, which comprises a series of highly sculptural garments brought to life through movement, Phantom Syntopia seeks to represent the elusive, ethereal beauty of fluid motion in solid materials through its ‘Weaving Water’ theme. See UnnamedProject.com’s feature on Iris van Herpen and her 2020 collection that features the unveiling of her “transmotion” dress.

New Dimensions

“From the very beginning, this truly was a meeting of minds: two luxury houses that share the innovative vision and ambition to transcend the boundaries of luxury design,” says Gavin Hartley, Head of Bespoke Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Together, we further explored the potential of Phantom as a perfect canvas for individualization. Phantom Syntopia takes Rolls‑Royce interior design into a new dimension with its immersive, sculptural elements, reinterpreting the elusive fragility of nature’s forms in a perfectly engineered reality.”

Iris van Herpen will design a one-off Haute Couture garment to match Phantom Syntopia.
