Buyer of this Rolls-Royce is big fan of daisy
High Tatras, mountain range in Slovakia
A field of daisies in the High Tatras, a mountain range in Slovakia. There begins the story of the owner of the Black Badge Cullinan Daisy, a one-off creation of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Whenever I need to clear my head, I go to that place,” says the anonymous buyer. “The simplicity and resilience of the daisy appeal to me. It inspired me to put together a car that combines strength and calmness.”
Walking as a common thread
The client built his career in the outdoor and adventure industry. His love of nature runs like a thread through his life. “I wanted something made that makes that connection visible,” he says. “No glaring references, but details that you don’t notice until you really look.”
Thus was born the idea for the Black Badge Cullinan Daisy, in which the daisy appears subtly in several places. From a hand-painted coachline on the powder blue bodywork to a motif inside the custom-made umbrellas.
About the exterior: understated power
“The color Powder Blue felt right right away,” says the client. “Calm, but not boring.” One coachline with a daisy pattern runs across the paint. The rest of the exterior received dark accents, such as the Black Badge Pantheon grille, a black Spirit of Ecstasy and dark trim. “This creates a balance between softness and strength,” he explains.
About the interior: a personal place
Inside, the story gets even more personal. On the dashboard and between the rear seats, the dais decorates again, this time etched in Blackwood veneer. “Rolls-Royce used a sandblasting technique,” says the client. “This creates a relief that changes when you see the light falling on it.”
The interior color scheme reflects the same understated mood. Fleet Blue leather dominates, combined with accents in Selby Grey and black. “Even the stitching and headrest monograms are matched,” said the buyer. “Everything is right without screaming.”
Even the entry plates received their own design: Bespoke Illuminated Treadplates with a subtle reference to the daisy.
Small details make the difference
The umbrellas, hidden in the rear doors, got a print of daisies on the inside. Then there’s the roof. The Bespoke Starlight Headliner displays four constellations often visible above its favorite hiking trail: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Gemini and Taurus. “I liked the idea of literally bringing out that connection to nature as well,” he said.
Practical and personal
Because hiking remains an important part of his life, he opted for a Recreation Module in the luggage compartment. This drawer, which slides out automatically, provides space for his hiking equipment. “That way I’m always ready for a spontaneous hike,” he says.
