VALTERRI

Valtteri was built for a couple who are well travelled and extremely adventurous with big ambitions: to eventually take on the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Patagonia and live on the road for an extended adventure.

This left hand drive Sprinter came brand new from Finland while Valtteri’s owners were living in Riyadh.  The entire process, from our first meeting and design conversations through the build itself, was managed remotely entirely through video calls. After months of designing a van together from thousands of miles apart, we were determined that the finished Valtteri would feel exactly as they had imagined it.

The brief was for a substantial electrical system essential for the journey ahead, so we upgraded the standard specification to create a huge system needed for this type of off grid travel. For the interior, the owners wanted somewhere calm, welcoming and unique to them. Valtteri has a bohemian inspired  interior with plenty of personality,  soft pink accents and splashes of bold aesthetics. The result is a lovely contrast: a seriously capable adventure van on the outside with a beautifully considered boho interior waiting inside.  We carefully incorporated a sentimental personal item woven into the design so they could have something meaningful from home that could travel with them, wherever they go.

Valtteri has already taken his owners  through Europe and up through Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia before heading back to Finland. The ultimate plan is considerably bigger. Valtteri was built to take his owners a long way and make the journey feel like home.
