Trust the Austrians to come up with what must be the most bizarre shaped caravan we have ever seen and when you look at caravans all day every day that’s saying something!
If you’re one of those people who doesn’t like to follow the trend and prefers to stand out from the crowd then the Mehrzeller may be the caravan for you.
To some it may resemble several golf balls stuck together but to the discerning eye it might just be a thing of beauty and, like some the futuristic houses on Channel 4’s Grand Designs, it carries sleek angular lines that could make it a caravan of the future.
With stylish interior features, including high spec kitchen and bathroom facilities, dishwasher and flat-screen TV, this caravan is similar to a normal caravan.
Scattered throughout the ‘van is LED lighting which will definitely come in handy as, save for the back door, the caravan has just two windows. This will definitely save on curtain fabric but also might make for a slightly claustrophobic feeling.
The interior also somewhat resembles Superman’s fortress of solitude, all smooth clean white lines with white leather upholstery and recessed fittings.
This would definitely make for a cool atmosphere on a hot sunny day.
The outside can even be tailored to customer’s wishes with a selection of graphics.
Personalised design
This creative concept has come from a design firm based in Graz who felt that “People want to be mobile but at the same time, have a strong desire for a lasting home and their own personal four walls.”
What is also a bonus is that the design can be entirely personalised by the customer. The company Mehrzeller explain that, “Using our Configurator, we set up a design that is unique for our customers, including their own layout that they can identify with.”
“The configuration is generated by a computer using the customer’s inputs, and then the final design is done by parameters from the architects to yield an attractive and practicable result.”
We are always open to new and innovative caravan ideas, whether or not it becomes the caravan of the future is up to the consumer.
Our only problem with this one is the colour, we have a feeling it would get very dirty, very quickly with all that white!
