Mathieu Lehanneur transforms a Renault 4L into a "open -air hotel room"

We see more and more companies that convert vans into small rolling homes.The number of motorhomes registrations continues to increase year after year.And we no longer count the gadgets to transform your car into a bivouac flourish.In short, the nomadic journey is on the rise.This is certainly what inspired Mathieu Lehanneur for his revisit of the Renault 4L, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of "the" little French car.

The designer created following No. 4, an "open -air hotel room" in a real Renault 4L.A collaboration driven by Arnaud Belloni, the brand's marketing director at the diamond."We invited him to imagine a concept capable of expressing his vision around 4L.The result is exceptional: a car that perfectly represents the brand's objective as part of the ‘Renaulution’ ’strategic plan, create modern and innovative cars that transmit emotions.»»

Whole sections of the bodywork and the tailgate disappear, replaced by glass parts.The roof too, but it is covered with a grid of solar panels.The latter have the advantage of letting light pass and powering ... the 4L battery!Indeed, Renault thus launches, the air of nothing, in the electric retrofit.

Inside, there is yellow velvet on the seats and the dashboard at the front, and caterpillar fabric on the sofa/bed at the rear.Light lights and a multitude of comfortable cushions complete the table with a rolling mini-suite. Le tout « made in France»», bien entendu.

Selon Mathieu Lehanneur, la Suite N°4 est même « mieux qu’une suite dans le plus beau des palaces, elle est exactement là où vous le souhaitez, face à la mer, au milieu d’un champs ou en mouvement dans la ville de vos rêves»». La carrosserie est couverte d’une livrée « ciment»» composée de trois couches de peinture.Spectacular signature of the designer: the polished aluminum grille.Finally, an option that was thought to be reserved for large Land Rover backpackers, a bench unfolds in the back to sit down and enjoy the view.

We imagine that the rest n ° 4 will not be marketed. Mais on pourra l’admirer « en vrai»» à l’Atelier Renault des Champs-Elysées à partir du 1^erdécembre, puis pendant Maison & Objet du 20 au 24 janvier.Then, it will still be necessary to wait, at least until 2024, before seeing the modernized and electric versions of the Renault R5 and 4L disembarks on the market on the market on the market on the market on the market.

We wish the latter the same success as its grandmother - sold to 8 million copies in around a hundred countries - to which Ideat magazine (the same group as The Good Life) devoted an album of standards from the 60sand 70, all Parisian.
