As an artistic home decor element, Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Cameo, a small sculpture that embodies the brand’s design DNA. The Cameo honors Rolls-Royce’s workmanship and elegance in a fun yet elegant style, drawing inspiration from the brand’s history.
The Cameo’s design reflects the careful building methods employed at Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood site today while paying respect to the open-top vehicles of the company’s early years. The replica, which is made up of carefully crafted parts, is intended to give owners the tactile experience of putting together a Rolls-Royce themselves.
The Cameo is made of polished aluminum and solid oak, mimicking the recognizable two-tone finish of Rolls-Royce automobiles. In reference to the “marriage” stage of Rolls-Royce production, where the body and drivetrain come together, the oak body magnetically attaches to the aluminum chassis. The interior of the model features self-leveling wheel caps that maintain the “RR” monogram upright even when the wheels turn, and it is 3D printed in Grace White, a distinctive Rolls-Royce color. A driver figure sitting in the cockpit completes the artwork.
Yohan Benchetrit, Bespoke Design at Rolls-Royce, stated, “Cameo is a playful sculpture that embodies the core principles of Rolls-Royce styling. It’s designed to enthrall and delight, bringing our artistry into our clients’ homes.”
The piece of home décor is currently offered by a few Private Office boutiques and Rolls-Royce showrooms.
