High-end interior design for the VW "Grand California"
Services: consulting, development, prototyping, production, delivery
Westiform developed and supplied over 40 parts for the interior of VW "Grand California", from paneling and storage systems through to the complete rear wall of the shower unit.
The challenge with this project was to implement the sophisticated designs and shapes of the various parts in such a way, so that they could be manufactured using a thermoforming process. Westiform manufactured these parts in ABS and ABS-PMMA. Plastic panels are heated up in the thermoforming process until they are pliable, placed over the molds (which were specially made for VW) and then drawn into them. After cooling, the plastic retains the shape of the mold.
