Rolls-Royce Art Deco Inspired Cars debut at Paris Motor Show 2012

Rolls-Royce Art Deco Inspired Cars debut at Paris Motor Show

An eclectic artistic and design style that began in Paris in the 1920s, and flourished internationally throughout in the 1930s and into the WW II era, Art Deco, as a style of art was most known for its mathematical geometric shapes, strong colors, zigzags and bold outlines. The style actually influenced almost all areas of design as well as visual arts, and at its very best, represented elegance, glamour, functionality, and modernity. 

Now, taking inspiration from this 20th Century’s most defining, glamorous, and exciting design movement, Britain’s Rolls-Royce Motor Cars proudly presents a selection of Phantom and Ghost family cars that celebrates the iconic Art Deco era. And, to pay homage to the 1925 Paris Exhibition or Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes that originally gave the movement its name ‘art deco’, Rolls-Royce unveiled the highly bespoke Phantom Drophead Coupé, Phantom Saloon and Ghost models at the Paris Motor Show 2012.

These three art deco-inspired models come finished in period-correct color schemes and boasts details including mother of pearl and silver inlays and ornamental glassware.
