The American Icon
Airstream travel trailers are meant to be lived in. To move like a stream of air. Since their introduction in 1931, design experts have extolled their purity and emotional appeal. Geoff Wardle, Chair of Transportation Design at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design, said, "The Airstream is a pure object, which is why it has lasted." Perhaps there is a spiritual aspect to owning one. The wandering spirit that they instill. The curiosity and zest for whatever is over the next hill. And the timeless need to pass that quest on to the next generation.
