Slick, satisfying...
and you can get work done!
Creative Mobile Interiors recently completed a stylish and
refined Ford E-350 mobile office for a full-service commercial truck
company. The company’s executives were in need of a functional
vehicle that would do more than just transport them from point A
to point B. Not only will the vehicle save on the overall costs
of traveling (plane tickets, lodging, etc), but it will allow
the company to pursue new business while away from their
corporate desks. Their wish - for a livable, drivable, mobile
office - was CMI’s command.

The WiFi enabled, and custom painted van
(designed and completed by the customer) gives new meaning to
workplace comfort. The driver’s area was kept mostly the same
but included the addition of a full partition wall behind the
front seats. The wall features an automated sliding window to
allow privacy between the two areas. |

A large L-shaped desk/counter top “floats” off of the
partition and sidewall. The desk space is abundant enough
to house a full-service printer/copier/fax machine as well
as areas to write and work on a laptop. A large, luxurious
captain’s chair sits in the bend of the desk to act as a
superior task chair. Beneath the desktop, on the driver
side, sits a small cabinet that houses various electronics,
electrical equipment and a rear stereo unit with
iPod/USB/CD/Radio capabilities. Additional cabinetry is
provided overhead, on the driver’s side wall, to house other
office necessities.

Rearward of the desk area sits a plush,
full-width custom sofa that can fold flat into a bed. The bed
itself will be used to replace a hotel room when so desired (on
short trips). The sofa sits atop a custom fabricated riser that
contains storage that can be accessed from the vehicle cabin as
well as through the rear doors. |

The interior finishes resemble that of an
executive jet. Soft, smooth, padded vinyl walls and ceiling
panels give the vehicle a deluxe feel only amplified by the
exotic wood laminate cabinetry and two-tone leather seating.
To add to the sleek atmosphere within the van, CMI installed LED
overhead lighting and LED accent lighting throughout. The
rich burgundy accents pulled from the seating also find their
way to the edge of the counter tops and a sleek stripe along the
ceiling line. Burgundy and gray (day-night) window shades give
the customer a choice of light filtering ability. Lastly, a
pair of 6”x9” speakers sits above the rear sofa for cranking up
some music when the work day is over.
For business owners that never sleep, there is nothing better
than being able to work and accomplish goals when you’re away
from the office. |
