Car collector Michael Fux today received his twelfth Bespoke
Rolls-Royce commission, and it was another stunning reveal.
Unveiled at ‘The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering’, Rolls-Royce
Motor Cars debuted the spectacularly colorful commission, ‘Cullinan in
Fux Orange,’ marking the tenth time the brand has developed and
reserved a color carrying the name of the prolific patron of Bespoke.
Unveiled by Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars, the commission was the highlight of the Rolls-Royce celebration
at The Quail and Monterey Car Week, one of the hallmark annual
gatherings for global luxury collectors worldwide
“Michael is a true patron of our Rolls-Royce Bespoke artistry.
He has continually brought us color challenges ranging from exterior
finishes to perfect color matching for a variety of materials
throughout his creations. For more than a decade, my team has never
failed to deliver for him and the brand. He has created a collection
of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars that will grace the lawn of Pebble Beach and
Concours around the world for the next century.” Torsten Müller-Ötvös,
Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
Working with the Bespoke design and color development team at
the Home of Rolls-Royce, Goodwood, Mr. Fux challenged the designers to
match the exterior color to a vibrant orange ladies wrap that caught
his eye in South Florida. He purchased the wrap and had it delivered
to the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective. Working together for nearly a
year, the teams delivered the perfect surface application of more than
seven layers of finish polished by hand for multiple hours in the
Surface Finish Center. The exterior even features black Cullinan
wheels and pinstripe wheel centers in the bright ‘Fux Orange.’
The interior is decked in hand-crafted Arctic White leather with
offsetting Orange stitching and Orange Rolls-Royce ‘RRs’ on the
headrests. Arctic White is carried over to the luxurious box grain
leather fascia, steering wheel control stems and carpets. The
designers brought color contrast with ‘Fux Orange’ finished fascia
veneer, rear-view mirror and lambswool floor mats. The contrast of
white and color showcased the artisanship with exacting standards for
the Rolls-Royce craftspeople.
Mr. Fux’s Rolls-Royce cars are the highlight of his collection
including more than 150 of the world’s most unique and colorful motor
cars. Arriving in the United States a young Cuban immigrant, Mr. Fux
built a series of successful businesses in the bedding and linen
industry. Today, he strives to give something back to the communities
he has worked in. Since establishing Te Michael Fux Foundation in
2006, he has donated millions of dollars to enrich the lives of
children stricken with serious illnesses. In addition to building the
Fux Family Center at the Miami Children’s Hospital, Mr. Fux and his
wife Gloria hold multiple events each year to sustain the center and
entertain the children. The colorful collection of cars are used at
fundraisers to raise money to benefit those in need.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has dozens of colors reserved for
numerous clients around the globe. Among the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars he
has commissioned, Mr. Fux now ‘owns’ ten Bespoke colors, more than any
other patron of the brand.
