Design Within Reach partners with Airstream
Special edition travel trailer respects tradition

Design Within Reach, the source for fully licensed furniture and accessory classics, in partnership with Airstream has introduced the Design Within Reach Airstream travel trailer. It is available at Airstream dealerships around the country.

Chris Deam, the award-winning architect and designer, was commissioned by DWR to create this special edition Airstream trailer. He incorporated a curated composition of design elements and practicality, both inside and out, including accents by George Nelson, Tom Dixon, and upholstery by Maharam (in collaboration with British designer Paul Smith). The Design Within Reach Airstream provides its user with a unique opportunity to travel, can provide an extra room at home, and through its panoramic windows and iconic history will inspire a different point of view.

The galley comes equipped with cooktop, stainless sink, Elkay faucet, fridge-freezer, Nelson Ball Clock, and four Heller Dinnerware place settings. There are recessed halogen lights, a skylight, and the Wire Coatrack by Tom Dixon. There's also a lavatory and shower. The eco-friendly flooring has a matte ebony finish, and the glossy overhead lockers are backlit and have metal perforated laminate doors. The panoramic windows have custom aluminum window treatments imported from Europe. For leisurely times outdoors, a fabric awning and two Tripolina chairs are included. There are Matteo linens and a Maharam pillow, and the electronics package includes rooftop AC, Sony sound system and TV. The retail price is $49,066.

Airstream recently celebrated its 75th anniversary as the foremost manufacturer of aluminum travel trailers. Through careful brand stewardship and thoughtful production evolution, Airstream has engineered significant improvements over the years, while maintaining the iconic exterior appearance and exceptional quality of these American industrial-design classics.
