Analysis of the interior layouts of the Mobilvetta Kea P55 and Kea P64 camper vans. The project focuses on selecting and redesigning a specific space, mechanism, or accessory, or developing a new solution from scratch, with the aim of improving the camper environment in terms of functionality, ergonomics, and transformable use.
Dynamic K is an indoor–outdoor kitchen system designed for compact camper vans.
It rethinks how meals are prepared on the road, extending the cooking area beyond the vehicle and transforming it into a shared, social experience. Cooking is no longer confined to the interior space, but becomes an open and convivial moment.
Effortlessly Effective
At the base of the monoblock, a system combining a central pivot and telescopic pistons ensures smooth, controlled movement. This mechanism allows the kitchen unit to extend outward effortlessly, providing a simple and secure extraction.

Dual-use layout
Dynamic K is engineered for indoor and outdoor use, with functional elements accessible from both sides. The worktop integrates a sink, burners, and covered organizers with removable panels. The pantry features three internal shelves accessed via curved doors, while a bidirectional drawer provides usability from either side. Rotating shelves ensure easy access from any angle, and side niches offer compartments for items ready at hand.
Worktop
The kitchen worktop integrates the sink, burners, and organizers, meticulously designed down to the last millimeter. In a compact camper, every detail matters — efficiency and precision are absolute.
Drawer
Inspired by aeronautical design and airline trolley systems, the drawer features bidirectional runners, making it accessible from both sides.
Pantry
Always accessible, the pantry features two large doors—one opening when the kitchen is extended outdoors, the other inside the vehicle. It is divided into three shelves with safety rails for secure storage.
