Airstream Builds Land Yacht for Landlubbers

At first glance, it looks like any ol' Airstream?silver bullet?on wheels. But inside, this 28-foot trailer boasts a one-off, nautically themed interior that makes us want to leave our earthly?possessions?behind and hit the open road.

This "Land Yacht" concept was executed in collaboration with Italian cabinet makers Tecnoform and the Officina Italiana Design studios, executed in partnership with Riva Yachts designer Mauro Micheli. And it shows; from the high luster teak and white wood inlay boat deck-style flooring to LED panel lighting, Corian countertop surfaces, and ultraleather seating areas, this five-sleeper trailer seems perfectly in step with Airstream's original 1930 design, which was penned by engineer and designer Hawley Bowlus, who was also responsible for Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic airplane, the Spirit of St. Louis.

Custom Airstreams have become a status symbol of sorts among the rich and famous, and their bling has the capacity to sully the original intent of these iconic trailers. But pared down design purity as seen in this one-off certainly makes a compelling case for itself, and makes retro enthusiasts pine for a more elegantly styled, slower paced era.
