Surprisingly, however, this smooth transition does not result from a film applied to the sheet metal, but rather from the expert Duotone Fade paint finish, which blends satin and pearlescent finishes: this highlights the extreme refinement of the \u201cPearl of Tay\u201d Range Rover, a one-of-a-kind model on display during Milan Design Week. \u201cThe name derives from the pearls deposited by mollusks in a well-known Scottish river,\u201d explains Swati Dhanda, materiality manager. \u201cThis variety was discovered as far back as the Middle Ages and was celebrated for its rarity until the 19th century, after which it fell into increasingly infrequent use until the 1998 fishing ban.\u201d The distinctive hue of this gift of nature\u2014\u201cluxurious and velvety, with subtle pink highlights\u201d\u2014is the inspiration behind yet another offering from the SV Bespoke division, which has long been dedicated to allowing customers to define numerous bespoke
