Holden Sandman Concept

Holden Sandman Concept :

Based on the VU Holden Ute the one-off special Holden Sandman is the result of a creative collaboration with Australian surf and streetwear company, Mambo.
The Sandman features a ‘Bushfire’ custom paint finish in the blazing combination of red, orange and tangerine. There’s a new retro style Sandman graphic on the tailgate, and spray-painted on its sides are updated Mambo versions of the traditional panel van mural. Depicting uniquely Australian ‘beach and bush goddess’ themes, they are interpretations of original paintings by Mambo project art director, David McKay.

 The Sandman interior is equally extravagant. The rear compartment, referred to as a ‘chill out zone’, has been transformed into a lush, plush relaxation space with freeform seating and a surround sound mobile theatre system that’s anything but a blast from the past.

 In the cabin, Mambo’s ‘Burnin’ Love’ interior theme extends to flame appliqued red leather, tangerine suede and orange velour seats and custom touches such as a translucent red instrument facia and bushfire alert instrument cluster.

 Holden’s Executive In Charge of Design, Michael Simcoe, says the Sandman panel van concept began as a sketch doodled in 1997 by young designer Andrew Smith, who was working on the new VU Holden Ute program.
