Neat Vehicles in conjunction with We Make Studio in the UK and Hatter Agency in Amsterdam have built an 8 metre Mobile Florist shop for LEGO Botanicals, a range of flowers and plants for floral arrangements, home décor or for gifts.
Le Florist started life as an Iveco Daily chassis cab and it was then added to with a 5.6 metre Neat Displayflex body with one side which opens to form an open side entrance and a window display. The vehicle has an impact as soon as you see it, it looks like nothing else on the road with its Matt Black Vinyl bodywork, steps and handrails and high colour flower graphics, its increased height header boards to give it presence and its striped awning to give it Le Florist look.
The windows and doors, hand made in our factory, were designed to concertina to one end so that two sets of steps could go on the side giving maximum access for the public, with a rear door and steps allowing people out. A window display with walls surrounding it features on the left hand two windows.
A Battery and Inverter system was fitted into the vehicle so that it is quiet and vibration free when deployed on site. The lighting is an RGBW colourchange lighting system as well as two display lighting tracks and there is a locker fitted in the offside.
The interior is a colourful display with some very unique features, such as the LEGO bricks water coming out of the tap on the back wall, LEGO Botanicals arranged in single stems, under glass and in bouquets, there’s even a LEGO fork and trowel.
One of the most striking features when it is deployed on site are the LEGO Botanical flowers which flow from the top of the cab, up the front bulkhead across the front headerboard and down the rear, these are added once it parks up in case you were wondering!
