Volkswagen’s New California Camper Van is Packed With Utilitarian Design Features

Volkswagen’s designers and engineers look like they had an absolute field day with their new California Camper van. They’ve loaded this relatively diminutive vehicle with built-in furniture, pop-out standalone furniture, two beds, a kitchen, an outdoor shower and more. It’s not even the features themselves that most impress me, it’s the way that everything has been designed to cleanly integrate with the structure, such that everything is invisible until the user chooses to reveal them.

My hat’s off to VW’s designers and engineers, but I shake my fist at the executives. To name the car after a U.S. state, but not actually sell it in the ‘States, just seems cruel.
