Auto Design

It looks funny and you are right in asking yourself how such a small car can pull such a big Trailer with the iconic look and brand such as Airstream. You need not to worry though. On one side the Mini Cooper S Clubman is small but has muscles enough to deliver 172 HP, the Airstream trailer is not that big, and it is all-aluminium, lighter than you may think of.

If you curious enough to want to see in reality take note and it is (or perhaps it is not) easy: go to Milano on April 21 (through the 30). The pair will be there to share the glamour and attention of the world-famous “Salone del Mobile”, the place to be if you are in design of any sort, primarily if you are in car design.

There you will get an extra bonus because there is more: the Airdream trailer has been designed by the famous Republic of Fritz Hansen, the Danish creator of exclusive pieces of premium furniture based in Copenhagen, which is renowned for its minimalist and functional design.

The “twin-set” concept will be presented for the first time at the INTERNI DESIGN ENERGIES exhibition in the courtyards of Università degli Studi di Milano from 10:00 a.m. until midnight.

The three big names have come together at the initiative of Mini as stressed by Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, Head of MINI Brand Communication, who said: “It has always been important for us to implement new products and ideas in unconventional ways. The concept MINI and Airstream, designed by Republic of Fritz Hansen, presents a surprisingly different way of using a MINI and an Airstream with a design that consciously transcends into the world of the surfer. At the same time, we have achieved a successful co-operation with two international cult brands which authentically embodies the MINI attitude to life”.
