American cherry wood, Persian walnut root (approx. 600 years old) or the very finest mahogany: virtually any wood can be used for the picnic table to match the car's interior and personal tastes.

Rolls-Royce/Bentley picnic table
Rolls Royce or Bentley owners are often regarded as slightly eccentric. Golden handles here, hand-woven upholstery there. But if you really want to reach for the skies in terms of deluxe accessories for your car, then the only place to go is Grossaitingen by Augsburg/Germany. This is where the very finest picnic tables are made - tables for gourmets who don't see why they should have to compromise on style while out travelling.
A Rolls Royce Phantom V is a very impressive car indeed, almost sculptural in its elegance. And when the bodywork has been styled by an artist like James Young, then the mighty Brit becomes a super-elegant and streamlined ride indeed.
Now, try to imagine a photo designer and aficionado of elegant shapes opening the boot of his Phantom V and letting his imagination and creativity run free. Perhaps taking inspiration from Harold Radford's Bentley S1 Countryman, where a fold-away picnic table is hidden under the boot panel.
But letıs return to the Phantom V. It is parked in a photo studio and projecting from the open boot is a magnificent picnic table. It doesn't even have to be set: just let your imagination fill in the details. Champagne, cut crystal glass, silver cutlery, fresh flowers and candles - you'd have to have a heart of ice not to yearn for intimate hours spent together. A fragrant meadow, perhaps some mountains in the background, a lake would be perfect. And the nearest country road a comfortable distance away.
Bon appétit!

Rolls-Royce Phantom V Design by James Young. The table fits like a glove. Designer Johannes Riedel believes in perfect workmanship, high quality materials and easy-to-use technology. No holes need to be drilled in the body and no additional screws are needed to install the picnic table. The table lies in the boot and pulls out easily when needed. The table top, which is mounted on steel rails, can be set in three positions.

Take a close look at the tray - naturally, it is made of the same wood as the table. The handles are by James Young Design. Now, you may think that it looks half-finished, but the effect is entirely intentional, stylishly bringing together usefulness and aesthetic appeal. Johannes Reidel loves combining tactile and visual effects. The puzzle is a great way of passing time between courses and each piece is a pleasure to touch and feel.

You could, of course, select a simple handle with a lock. If your main priority is getting value for money. Fine craftsmanship, attention to detail and outstanding finishing - the locking mechanism keeps the picnic table in perfect position.
