A Japanese Billionaire Commissioned This One-Off Hermes x Rolls-Royce Phantom Oribe

Rolls-Royce is known for their bespoke creations and the latest is the Phantom Oribe.

Commissioned by Japanese billionaire entrepreneur and art collector, Yusaku Maezawa, the one-off model was created in collaboration with Hermès and draws inspiration from Maezawa’s “world-class collection of ancient Japanese ceramics.”

Envisioned as a land jet, the model has a two-tone exterior that mimics the green and cream glazes of antique Oribe ware. In particular, the car wears bespoke Oribe Green – which Rolls-Royce also made available for use on Maezawa’s private jet – that is contrasted by a cream-white lower section.

The two-tone design continues in the cabin as Seashell White contrasts with Hermès Enea Green leather. The latter has been applied to all major touch-points and is joined by Hermès piping on the headrests and rear calf supports.

Elsewhere there are wooden speaker frets, which feature perforated open pore Royal Walnut. The wood is also used on the center and rear consoles, while Hermès Toile H canvas has been applied to the armrests, consoles and headliner.

Rounding out the highlights are a champagne cooler, a decanter storage compartment and lambswool floor mats. The model also has a unique Phantom Gallery as “Hermès commissioned an artwork based on a design by the celebrated French artist and illustrator Pierre Péron (1905–1988) who created many of the House’s iconic scarves. The work, inspired by the famous Hermès horse motif, is hand-painted on Open Pore Royal Walnut and is presented as though staged in an art gallery, behind glass.”

Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said the car is a “magnificent expression of our pinnacle product” and brings “together two houses with more than three centuries’ combined experience and heritage.” He added it was an “extraordinary privilege” to work with Hermès on a “creatively challenging, technically demanding commission and bring our client’s remarkable vision so beautifully to life.”
