Sandy Vans Teams Up with Ananda Living Experiences for a Unique Limited Van Series
Sandy Vans is excited to announce a special partnership with Ananda Living Experiences to bring "The Concrete Oasis" series to life. This collaboration marks the start of a limited series built at Sandy Vans' San Diego shop, blending Ananda’s holistic luxury design expertise with Sandy Vans' precision craftsmanship for the ultimate mobile living experience.
Edden and Nicole, the founders of Ananda Living Experiences and the original creators of The Concrete Oasis van, have teamed up with Sandy Vans to scale their vision. After living in the first Concrete Oasis themselves, they are now deeply involved in the build process for all of the upcoming vans. Their hands-on approach ensures that each van maintains the essence of their eco-conscious & serene design, while benefiting from Sandy Vans' experience in adventure-ready conversions.
"We are thrilled to have Edden and Nicole working closely with our team," said Alan Mondus, CEO of Sandy Vans. "Their lived experience in the first Concrete Oasis van gives them a unique perspective that will be invaluable in delivering a product that truly blends comfort, sustainability, and adventure."
The Concrete Oasis Series: A Fusion of Modern Design and Functionality
This series draws from the original Concrete Oasis—designed with modern, minimalist aesthetics while maintaining the practical features that van travelers need. Key highlights include:
- Urban Oasis on Wheels: Sleek interiors that transform any location into a calming retreat, perfect for urban and off-the-grid explorations alike.
- Customization: An option of 3 set color palettes as well as a unique design customized with the buyer for the woodburning. There will also be the option to do upgrades for more exterior modifications.
- Luxury Meets Functionality: Outfitted with high-end appliances, smart storage, and off-grid capabilities, these vans are designed to elevate the nomadic lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.
"Our journey with the original Concrete Oasis has been life-changing, and we’re so excited to be able to extend that vision to more people," said Edden and Nicole, founders of Ananda Living Experiences. "We believe in creating spaces that inspire calm and connection with nature, and this partnership with Sandy Vans allows us to share that experience on a larger scale."
All vans in the Concrete Oasis series will be built at Sandy Vans’ headquarters at 9393 Trade Pl, San Diego, CA. Clients are encouraged to visit the shop, explore the designs, and collaborate with both teams to create their dream adventure vehicle.
