For the past several months, industrial designer Ti Chang and her team at Crave have been renovating an old Airstream trailer for an unusual purpose: Rather than prepping it for a camping trip, they've converted it into a rolling build-a-vibrator workshop to tour the country.
Crave has been holding build-your-own-vibrator workshops for years, finding them a helpful and informative way to engage customers. With the trailer, they can now take the workshops on the road, reaching more people around the country. They debuted the just-completed Airstream at the World's Fair Nano in San Francisco this weekend, complete with Vibrator Technicians on hand to answer fairgoers' questions.
The interior has been transformed into a gallery showcasing Crave's products, and one end of the trailer features a workshop area where attendees can build their own vibrators.
Here's Chang discussing the project and the ultimate goal of the trailer:
And here's the video for Crave's crowdfunding campaign:
