Laika wins the Red Dot Award

Ecovip Motorhome wins the prestigious design award

San Casciano in Val di Pesa, April 2021 – The Ecovip Motorhome won, in Germany, the prestigious “Red Dot” award in the “Product design – Motorhomes and Caravans” category. For more than 60 years, the Red Dot Award has been assigned to the best products of the year. As stated in the letter notifying the win, “the international panel only awards this prestigious quality title to products with exceptional design”. This year’s competition was particularly tough: applications were received from over 60 countries around the world. As specified by Red Dot’s CEO, winning this title “with such a high number of participants says it all about the excellent quality of your product”.

The Laika Ecovip Space Concept won over the panel: a design of spaces based on the idea of living comfort, with the aim of offering travellers a motorhome built around them. Every area of the Ecovip Motorhomes has been designed to ensure a unique travel experience, starting with the driver’s cab, where the 2.17 m long panoramic windscreen offers a full view as well as providing light to the entire vehicle. In addition, the reduced distance between the steering wheel and the windscreen (-17 cm) ensures a true 360° view and an unforgettable driving experience.

In the living area, the large right-hand side window provides even more natural light as standard. The spacious dinette with customizable ergonomic seating and a large side sofa can accommodate up to 5 people seated. In addition, the integration between the driver’s cab and the living area is perfect thanks to the continuous line of wall units and covering with a uniform design.

The sleeping area has been studied in detail to offer maximum optimization of stowage space, with the space-saving foldaway bed step and the handy pull-out wardrobe. In addition, the multi-functional toilet door allows the sleeping area to be separated from the rest of the vehicle, providing a high level of privacy.

The new Ecovip Motorhomes, launched last June, are a total of 9 models offering manifold solutions: twin beds, island or transverse double bed, L-shaped or face to face dinette (in DS models). Today these new models with their refined design receive an important international award that rewards the work carried out by the Laika team, proving to be capable of great results even in a difficult year like 2020.
