Custom Van Builds
Kaze
Kaze is Japense for wind - a fitting name for this organic, inviting van build.
Kaze.
Kaze is a fitting name for this van, as it pays homage to both the motif of the build’s design, as well as the creative process which brought it to life.
The goal of this build was for the van to feel natural, organic, and full of texture while being packed with amenities that make it a true dream van.
The principle motif of the van was the walnut light fixture, setting the tone for the rest of the space. This fixture alone inspired all of the gentle curves and soft edges found throughout the build.
The idea of wind was also present in the creative process of this van, as much of the design was not pre-meditated, but instead executed “off the cuff”, based on random moments of creative spark, as if delivered by a gust of wind.
A Dicot Designs Flagship Build
While most of our builds are done for clients, this van was built in our own vision, pairing premium materials with finely-tuned craftsmanship.
From heated floors to rooftop air-conditioning, from a convertible dinette to an indoor shower, this van is ready for just about any type of adventure.
Kaze will be out on the road with us for adventures, meetups and van expos, but is also available for rental through Outdoorsy.
