A True American Icon
One look and you know exactly what an Airstream is for. It's meant to be lived in. It's meant to move. It's meant to help people reconnect with their world, without trampling it.
Seven decades after its introduction, art historians and design experts are still extolling the purity and emotional appeal of this "self-contained living accommodation," as Geoff Wardle, chair of the transportation design department at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design, called it. "The Airstream really is a pure object, which is why it has lasted so well," he continued.
"No one has yet to surpass them," said architect Margaret McCurry in Architectural Digest.
Perhaps Airstream Chairman Larry Huttle summed it up best when he said "there's a spiritual aspect to owning one. There is a wandering spirit to the people who buy this product. They don't know what's over the next horizon but they want to go see it…"
And that's what adventure – and Airstream – is all about.
