Rolls-Royce has announced a change to its senior leadership team with Domagoj Dukec taking over from Anders Warming as the marque’s Director of Design from 1 October 2024.
During Anders Warming’s tenure as Director of Design, Rolls-Royce successfully launched the Spectre, a bold evolution of the Cullinan and a new expression of the Phantom. In line with the marque’s commitment to Bespoke, including Coachbuild, being a vital strategic cornerstone for future success, Anders also oversaw the four magnificent and unique coachbuilt Droptail models and a number of exquisite Private Collection cars. On 1 October, Anders will take on a new role within the BMW Group, where he will be responsible for advanced design topics, as well as BMW Group Designworks.
Domagoj Dukec (49) will join Rolls-Royce as Director of Design, assuming overall responsibility for all design topics, including Bespoke design, an area which is in more demand than ever from the marque’s highly discerning clients through the expanding network of Private Office boutiques and the brand’s global showroom presence. Domagoj brings more than 20 years of experience in senior design positions, including the last five years as Head of Design for BMW. Born in Frankfurt with Croatian roots, Domagoj trained at the Pforzheim School of Design in Germany before embarking on an international career which has included several years spent at design studios in Paris, Barcelona and São Paulo.
"Anders Warming has had a substantial and lasting impact on our marque during his time as Director of Design of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. His wealth of experience and creativity have instructed our future aesthetic direction. Anders will be greatly missed by the global Rolls-Royce family, but I know he will thrive in his new role. To build on Anders’ achievements and take our thrilling future motor cars into the next era, we’re delighted to welcome Domagoj Dukec to the Home of Rolls-Royce. I know he will find great inspiration in realising our clients’ dreams and aspirations, while working closely with the immensely creative and talented Rolls-Royce design team. I wish both Anders and Domagoj well in their new roles," said Chris Brownridge, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
