Retro-Inspired Camper Vans

The Conceptual Volkswagen 'Joy Camper' Modernizes a Classic

The conceptual Volkswagen 'Joy Camper' has been designed by Ozan Kayicki as a modern take on the camping vehicles of the past to provide explorers with a way to enjoy time in the great outdoors in a stylishly functional manner. The camping vehicle starts off with a cube-shaped design that is finished with a glossy exterior and opens to reveal a wood-clad interior with space for all essential amenities including storage, a sink and more. The pop-up-style camper van would provide additional headroom within when parked, while skylights therein would maximize the amount of natural light.

The conceptual Volkswagen 'Joy Camper' speaks to the renewed interest in camping vehicles as more consumers seek out ways to explore on their own terms and spend short or long-term stints on the road.
