I fell in love with Airstream trailers at the ripe old age of seven. It happened on a cross-country trip with my family on our journey from New York to California when I spotted a shiny silver Airstream from the back of our VW bus. I was instantly smitten. Fast forward to a road trip through Idaho with my man, Greg. We saw an Airstream parked on the side of the road with a "For Sale" on it, and in the blink of an eye, the trailer joined us on our journey back to California. I was smiling big and wide the entire way, planning, imagining and sketching how I would transform the interior. That plan came to life when I incorporated rounded forms to the interior to match the feel of the exterior. The color palette is actually based on a piece of birch bark that has a surprising array of subtle colors. Within the interior I made my sentimental objects into functional objects to keep things streamlined. This can be seen in my sand curtain and my postcard countertop on my design page. |
My Airstream has been one of my most powerful inspirations in designing my jewelry. I head into my silver nest and it both soothes me and stimulates my creativity. It's a place that represents travel and shelter, comfort and efficiency. Silver Trailer is a showcase for all my trailer related work, but my entire collection of jewelry can be found at Studio Kristiana. In addition to browsing my online collections, you can come visit me in person at a variety of events along the west coast. Check for upcoming events.
