How bamboo and denim are becoming the new luxury in automobiles

Step inside the new electric Rolls-Royce Spectre and look closely at the vibrant black wood veneer.

The veneer, “obsidian ayous,” was created by Rolls-Royce designers, not Mother Nature. The team took scraps of wood that would normally be discarded on the production floor and carefully stacked and colored them, inventing a new material that’s eco-friendly and modern.

“It’s a man-made wood that’s more sustainable,” Anders Warming, design director at Rolls-Royce, told ABC News. “We’re trying to be mindful of the way we source materials. I am looking for things that aesthetically inspire but at the same time also do the right thing.”
