The future indeed arrived on Hudson Street in Soho to rave reviews last week during New York Cities annual Design Week. Mobile Living was at the forefront of design featuring both historic and contemporary views on the nomadic lifestyle we are currently experiencing as well as addressing the blur between art and design, all presented as a temporary museum installation.

Christopher Deam designer extraordinaire, had two entries in the show with both the Airstream International CCD and one of the crowd pleasers, the Breckenridge Perfect Cottage parked out front. All in all, a fantastic event... too bad it couldn't have lasted a little longer. Mobile Living >
