At their core, Airstream travel trailers are ageless works of making art. These handmade Recreational vehicles integrate 90-plus years of skilled style and quality workmanship in an ideal balance of outside travel quality and exceptional relaxation. The renowned appearance of our riveted aluminum silver bullets makes it tough for the inexperienced eye to identify one design line from another merely by taking a look at the outside. However action within and the colors, textures, surfaces, and floor covering come together to bring each design line’s character to life.
With the Airstream International Travel Trailer, our designers took that mindset up a notch by drawing motivation from the beachfront– from the colors and textures to the feelings we feel viewing the mild crash of waves on the beach. They developed an interior decoration that draws the outdoors world in and produces an unified balance for those who like indulging in the power and depth of the ocean.
What was the style motivation? Who was the International developed for? How is it special amongst our present item lineup– and how does it vary from previous performances? Keep reading as we go behind the style of the International Coastal Cove.
A Short History of the International
Airstream initially released International as a trim level in the 1958 design year. It was the very first self-contained travel trailer that made it possible for tourists to roam far from camping areas and really find the happiness of off-grid outdoor camping (or boondocking). At the time, the International was offered in a number of layout varying from 16 to 30 feet.
Quick forward a couple of years later on and the International CCD was released in design year 2002. Airstream worked together with designer Christopher C. Deam to develop a design that linked the dots in between the glossy outside to the modern-day interior by making use of aluminum on the interior walls (a style option that stays today). The International CCD progressed into the International Signature CCD and the Sea breeze series in 2008. In 2010, Airstream released the International Tranquility design, and both Signature and Tranquility were utilized for the next years to compare these 2 design-centric design lines.
In 2020, the Signature and Tranquility names were retired and we went back to our roots with the structured and streamlined name of International Despite the age, International has actually constantly represented remarkable style and ingenious thinking, moving the brand name as we aim to fulfill client expectations.

Their method presumes that a design ought to communicate feelings without ever needing to speak a word– through color options, components, surface areas, window treatments, and floor covering.
Research study directed our early vision boards as we focused on an objective for International’s decoration refresh. The Airstream group tapped information that revealed a frequency of blues, aquamarines, and soft pastels in present style patterns. Similar to other interior decoration choices offered from Basecamp to Timeless, Airstream uses colors frequently related to nature. These natural tones assist stabilize the indoor and outside experience that Airstreamers long for, developing an inviting retreat where owners can loosen up and reconnect after a long day of delighting in the outdoors.

For centuries, water has actually drawn individuals– for its life-sustaining hydration, its relaxing soundscapes, and its capability to revitalize and bring back. Water is an effective sign, and the style group dove deep into the styles and feelings it influences.

They looked for textures influenced by the natural world and tried to find surfaces and components that would assist draw a lot more light into the cool interior.
Colors Influenced by an Early Morning Stroll on the Beach
The style group accomplished a fragile balance in the color options by drawing motivation from sea glass, celadon ceramics, and modern-day home. At eye level you’re welcomed by a subtle aquamarine shade in the galley’s overhead cabinets and the locker above the dinette and the beds.

Tucked into that cabinets, frosted moving doors are both practical and stunning. The clear white mean the seafoam spray of crashing waves while gently refracting light and keeping products securely included. In a special style twist targeted at developing connection throughout the system, the group used the exact same brushed nickel knobs in 2 unique usages: As the pulls on the moving doors, and likewise as hooks (for secrets or hanging coats) simply inside the primary entry door.

Those windows allow sufficient light that brightens the interior while playing well with Coastal Cove’s colors and textures.
Utilized prevalently throughout the International interior, a wood grain laminate anchors the interior furnishings and panels with a sun-bleached and water-worn appearance. Echoing the texture of a driftwood branch or the siding on a lifeguard shack, this surface area laminate provides a cool, natural feel as it ushers light into a currently extensive interior home. Those woodgrain surface areas are contrasted with warm, white accent panels behind the tv and on the galley wall.
