Autohaus, VW T5 Campervan interiors

We were approached by Autohaus of Minehead to look into the bulk production of interior furniture for their range of GP campervans, however the brief was to provide a range not manufactured from the run of the mill material finishes found on the market today. After much development the resulting furniture was fabricated from various HPL laminates bonded to lightweight plywood at our works with all edges finished in acrylic stainless steel effect 2D edgings. This coupled with solid surface worktops & laser engraved logo's sets the Autohaus range in a league above the rest.
