Christopher Deam restyles the Airstream

A lot of these ideas migrated into the production trailers for Airstream.

This brings us up to the time that I started consulting to Airstream.

I decided I had to do some research and really figure out what had gone wrong somewhere along the history of Airstream.

Anyway, I went out to Airstream about six times during the process of building this prototype, and it's called the Bambi prototype.

When this trailer showed up at my shop in Berkeley, I'd actually never stepped foot in an Airstream trailer, or any other trailer.

In this low key, image packed talk from 2002, designer Christopher C. Deam talks about his makeover of an American classic the Airstream travel trailer.

We really needed to do some archeology in the trailer itself to figure out what's authentic in an Airstream trailer, and what feels like it has true purpose and utility.

So looking at their three main markets for their product which were basically transportation design, interiors and furniture, we came up with the solution of taking an old Airstream trailer and gutting it, and trying to portray laminate, and a trailer, in kind of a fresh, new contemporary look.
