At Monterey (California) Car Week in August, during the Concours d’Elegance celebration, classic/luxury automobile enthusiasts experienced the unveiling of a custom rolls-royce Dawn designed by barclay butera, renowned designer and author. Also featured was the introduction of Castelle’s luxury lounge seating, Park Place, customized by butera. A VIP hospitality venue was created by butera to feature the custom designed Park Place sectional.

Butera recently announced plans to collaborate with Castelle, award winning designer and manufacturer of luxury casual furniture. butera not only designed the interior and exterior of the rolls-royce, but also made the custom fabric and finish selections for the Park Place seating. A navy-and-white nautical theme was incorporated in all designs. Decorative pillows embroidered with the rolls-royce double-r logo were featured on the Park Place seating.

Butera used a unique nautical theme on the luxury items created to complement the style and the oceanside Southern Florida residence of the rolls-royce Dawn’s owner. The maritime theme was carried over into the Castelle lounge seating.

“When the company approached me about designing its outdoor spaces at the Quail Motorsports unveiling and its spectacular mansion in Pebble beach, I knew I could count on my partners at Castelle to deliver,” butera says. “The furniture was a huge hit, and we were thrilled that Castelle’s custom capabilities were able to turn around designs in such a tight timeline. There really is no other source for custom outdoor furnishings quite like Castelle.”

Steve Lowsky, CEO of Castelle, says, “Castelle was excited to work with barclay on the product for this event and honored to see our handcrafted furnishings as part of this very prestigious and luxury-focused event. This collaboration provided us the perfect platform to highlight our custom capabilities and allowed barclay’s unique vision to be carried across both symbols of the best of luxury and craftsmanship, rollsroyce and Castelle.”
