Slide onto a crafted leather seat and gaze up at a headliner that seems to twinkle like a starlit sky. The Starlight Headliner’s unique effect is achieved by fitting delicate fibre optic strands at varying depths and at different angles – to cause light to escape in multiple directions and at different intensities. The brightness of each ‘star’ can be adjusted to suit your mood: bright enough to relax and read under, or dim enough to create a subtle and relaxing glow.

The constellation of each Starlight Headliner is completely unique to the owner. Typically, it takes nine hours to craft, but a personalised pattern needs its own template, which can take more than 17 hours to complete. Two Rolls-Royce craftspeople marry their skills to create this extraordinary feature. It’s the perfect alliance of traditional craftsmanship and modern-day technology.

First, the leather is perforated with 800 to 1,600 holes, each carefully counted. Fibre optic lights are set into these holes. The craftsperson then ensures that the height of the fibres is correct on the concealed side, and that they’re set perfectly on the visible leather surface, ready to shine.
