Airstream Redesigns by Christopher Deam
This video is getting a little dated but, as a tiny-houser, I still found it interesting. Christopher Deam is an architect and designer who drew national attention in 2000 when he redesigned the American icon, the Airstream trailer. In 2002, he presented an overview of the project to TED.
I imagine Deam’s redesign looks less radical to our eyes in 2009 than it did in 2000. But it’s interesting to me to see some of the solutions he came up with. Like most of the architects I admire, he is concerned with purpose, utility, and authenticity.
This video runs only 7 minutes which seemed like a good length for a holiday weekend. Happy Memorial Day weekend for those of you in the States!
Christopher Deam has also designed for Herman Miller and Target. For further information on his work, please visit his website.

Thanks for bringing this out of the archives! Sometimes we feel that old content isn’t worthy of promotion. Yet, I’d not been aware of this particular TED video. Good stuff! Thanks, Steph!
