That was the mantra of Airstream founder Wally Byam, but in 2000 architect-designer Chris Deam gutted a vintage trailer to create a booth for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Turns out DWR, purveyor of iconic furniture, liked it so much they now offer a special DWR version of this Airstream, only $49,066 USD. Divided by the three times a year I get camping, that’s only about $16,000 a trip for me. But for those whose aesthetic sensibilities are disturbed by today’s space-agey dome tents, maybe it’s worth it.
