The Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle inspired by Couture Lace will have you drooling. Check it out…
Rolls-Royce has unveiled a one-off creation, the Phantom Dentelle, developed through its Private Office in Dubai. Commissioned by a Middle Eastern client as a personal gift for their father, the vehicle draws its inspiration from a piece of fine lace fabric, crafted using a rare Leavers loom, which has influenced both the interior detailing and exterior finish.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle: Interior
The standout feature of the Phantom Dentelle's interior is the Gallery, a unique panel stretching across the dashboard, which has been used to showcase embroidered artwork. Inspired by the textures and patterns of couture lace, the piece uses over 160,000 stitches in layered techniques and subtle colours such as Rose Gold, Sunrise, and Oatmeal to depict floral motifs.
The rear Waterfall section continues the theme with around 70,000 stitches, echoing the lace patterns seen on the dashboard. Details like Rose Gold speaker grilles, Grace White and Sunrise leather upholstery, and Piano White veneers complete the cabin's look. Embroidered RR monograms on the headrests add to the personalised touches.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle gets a very intricately designed interior.
Brienny Dudley from Rolls-Royce's Interior Trim Centre noted that the embroidery was designed to interact with light, creating subtle movement and depth as it reflects different angles, similar to how light plays on fabric. Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle: Bespoke exterior
The Phantom Dentelle's exterior features a two-tone paint finish: Crystal over Arctic White for the lower section and Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn for the upper body, a colour created specifically for the client. The bodywork is finished with a hand-painted coachline in Sunrise, ending in a small leafy branch design with pearl-like accents, mirroring the interior embroidery.
Other exterior elements include 22-inch polished disc wheels with body-coloured centres, and Rose Gold accents on the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament and treadplates.

The Phantom Dentelle reflects a detailed and personal approach to design, shaped by a client's brief and interpreted through Rolls-Royce's customisation programme. Rather than bold statements, the focus here is on subtle, layered craftsmanship drawn from textile artistry, translating couture elements into automotive form.
While only a single example has been produced, the Phantom Dentelle illustrates how Rolls-Royce continues to explore unusual materials and techniques in its bespoke offerings, influenced by a wide range of cultural and artistic sources.

While TIME Magazine called Mir Osman Ali Khan of Hyderabad the richest man in the world in 1937, with a fortune worth a jaw-dropping $236 billion (around Rs 19 lakh crore today), Wadiyar's quieter yet equally powerful legacy continues to live on through the lives he touched and the institutions he on June 4, 1884, in the grand Mysore Palace, Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV was just 11 years old when he became king.

LG Electronics to work with Saudi Arabia to develop HVAC solutions
LG Electronics, South Korea's leading home appliance maker, said on Sunday it will join hands with Saudi Arabia to develop heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions for regions prone to extreme heat. LG Electronics has decided to conduct a joint research project on developing HVAC technologies that deliver high-efficiency and high-performance even under extremely high temperatures with Saudi's major home appliances company Shaker Group and researchers from King Saud University in Riyadh and Pusan National University in Korea's southeastern city of Busan, according to company officials. Under the joint project, LG Electronics will provide system air conditioners for commercial use and households in the Middle Eastern country, which will be installed and operated by Shaker Group, reports Yonhap news agency. In detail, the Korean company plans to test its engine powered by artificial intelligence (AI), which can increase energy efficiency by automatically controlling air conditioning in line with the temperature. "This collaboration will serve as an opportunity for us to further strengthen our capabilities in HVAC solutions tailored for extremely hot regions," an LG Electronics official said. "We will continue to enhance our technological competitiveness in the global HVAC market by systematically establishing research and development infrastructure for each climate zone." Last month, LG Electronics said it has acquired a Norwegian hot water storage company to strengthen its foothold in the European air and water heating markets. The company said it acquired a 100 percent stake in OSO Group AS, a firm known for its smart stainless steel hot water tanks, aiming to enter the water heating segment in addition to its existing air heating business. LG Electronics did not disclose the acquisition price. "LG Electronics' high-efficiency air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) systems, combined with OSO Group's innovative hot water storage solutions, will help the company expand its presence in Europe's heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) market," the company said in a statement.
