Rolls-Royce presents Cullinan Cosmos: a one-of-one commission that celebrates the drama of outer space. Commissioned by a family who shares a fascination for the universe with their four-year-old son, this theme was brought to life through a constellation of Bespoke details. At its centre is a Rolls-Royce first – a hand-painted Starlight Headliner painstakingly developed by one of the marque’s in-house artists over 160 hours.  Cullinan Cosmos is finished in shimmering Arabescato Pearl, recalling the soft lustre of moonlight across a midnight sky. The exterior is completed with a hand-painted twin coachline in Charles Blue and an Illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy that glows like a distant star by night.  The interior of Cullinan Cosmos offers a calm, meditative environment, inspired by the stillness and wonder of deep space. The reclining seats are finished in Charles Blue and Grace White leather with matching Grace White contrast stitching and piping. Piano White veneers add a crisp, technical edge that subtly echoes the high-gloss surfaces of satellite casings.  The commissioning clients worked with Rolls-Royce designers to create a unique Star Cluster motif, which appears as Bespoke embroidery on the door panels and headrests, and as a hand-painted artwork on the front passenger fascia.

00:00This project is quite special because it's the first ever painted headliner for a Rolls-Royce motorcar.

00:19It's a very ethereal rendering of Milky Way.

00:23It gets its name from the hazy band of stars and gas clouds that you can see on a very dark night.

00:31For this project, we've decided with the designer to slightly alter the colors of the night sky so they complement the colorway of the car.

00:44I'm given as much freedom as I need to give it an artistic touch and make it a one-of-a-kind piece.

00:53Acrylic paint dries quickly on cotton canvas and it dries even faster on leather.

00:59This adds an extra dynamic to the process. The real challenge is the irregular surface and the curved parts.

01:07It's been pushing me to explore new techniques.

01:11I've already applied the black color paint and I've sketched roughly the Milky Way onto the leather using a white china marker.

01:19This step is crucial for maintaining accurate proportions as it is a large piece.

01:24Now I'm in the process of applying the acrylic paints.

01:29Because they easily blend with water, it allows me to achieve a very natural flow of the color on leather, which is quite effective for rendering the Milky Way.

01:38Depending on the desired effect, I'm applying colors one at a time or in layers to achieve depth and texture.

01:53Once completed and fully dried, a protective coating will be applied over the artwork to ensure it retains its beauty for years to come.

02:02Looking at the Milky Way every day, I'm reminded how small we are and how beautiful the world around us can be.

02:15You suddenly know a Grab Allels, who know.

02:17And the д步 Youth will be applied to the Milky Way every day and the Death's condition that I have ended up,
