Rolls-Royce begins a new design era.
While their ultra-luxury features and unmistakable driving character might be the most important aspects of the automotive excellence of a Rolls-Royce for many, the looks of Rolls-Royce cars and their unmistakable design elements have made them instantly recognizable icons, both for those who are owning and driving them, and for onlookers. However, a new era is dawning as Rolls-Royce is announcing a new Director of Design, Domagoj Dukec.
Being passed the baton from Anders Warming, who is taking on a new role as Head of Designworks, BMW Group Advanced Design and Design Identity, Dukec is bringing over 20 years of experience in senior design positions to the role, including 5 years as Head of Design at BMW. His new role will build on Warming’s achievements, including the new Phantom, a new generation of the Cullinan, the Spectre, and the stunning Droptail commissions as well as beautiful bespoke Private Collection cars.
With the incredible legacy of Rolls-Royce design starting with the vision of Sir Henry Royce from over 100 years ago, the perpetual challenge of designing new Rolls-Royce cars is of creating captivating modern designs that stand up to the demands of today’s cutting-edge technology and luxury features, while evoking the timeless stately elegance of the cherished Rolls-Royce design elements that have lasted over a century. With his extensive experience and training at some of the world’s premier design studios and schools, Domagoj Dukec is up for the task.
