Designer Airstream is Stocked with Goodies

Filed under: Gadgets, Luxury Travel & Hotels, Luxury Cars & Autos


Aimed at a younger market than the usual camping trailer crowd, this Design Within Reach Airstream comes with some additional accessories and modifications that make it a little trendier and more appealing to the "mobile young modernist" consumer. Among featured items there's a Nelson Ball clock, Heller Dinnerware place settings for 4, recessed lighting, a skylight, a Tom Dixon Wire Coat Rack, and of course a furnished kitchen area, lavatory, and shower. The fun stuff doesn't stop there, with panoramic windows, a fabric awning, Tripolina chairs, a Sony sound system and TV, and (deep breath) the list just keeps going and going. Want one of your own? No problem, but it'll cost you $49,066.

DWR Champagne Chair Contest Winners Announced

Filed under: Art

Design Within Reach has announced the results of their annual Champagne Chair Contest, which invites would-be designers to come up with their own DWR-inspired creations using corks leftover from New Year's Eve champagne. The grand prize was just a $1,500 gift certificate to DWR, but the Veuve Clicquot-sponsored contest (and many of the corks, cages and foil wrappers were from Veuve Clicquot bottles) just might have given us a little peek into the work of some of the designers we could see in stores in a few years. Entries came in from all over the world, including Israel, Spain and Thailand, but the three top prizes all went to US entries (left to right, above):

  • Grand Prize: Cantilever Block by Adam Weisberger of Louisville, Kentucky
  • Second Prize: Kleeko Chair by Stacie Matrka of Columbus, Ohio
  • Most Popular Award: Chair Squared by Edward Cristman of San Rafael, California
