The Design Revolution Road Show’s exhibition will be set up in a custom-renovated 17-foot 1972 Airstream Overlander trailer. The Airstream’s owner is Project H’s project manager Matthew Miller, who has owned it for 6 years (he and founder Emily Pilloton currently call the Airstream both “home” and “Project H headquarters”). The rig has been totally gutted, down to its “fuselage” form, and rebuilt into a sleek, open-plan interior that is perfect for an exhibition space. We’re working now to polish the exterior aluminum, as well as build the interior exhibition space by adding a few walls and pop-up fixtures made from milk crates and acrylic sheeting.

The Airstream’s History and Renovation

The Design Revolution Hits The Road!
It’s time we take this show on the road. Welcome to the Design Revolution Road Show! We are Project H Design, a nonprofit coalition connecting the power of design to the people who need it most, and the places where it can make a real and lasting difference. We’re also the authors of Design Revolution: 100 Products that Empower People, a compendium of and call-to-action for (product) design that makes a difference.
The Design Revolution Road Show will take 40 of the products featured in the book, install them into a mobile exhibition Airstream trailer, and visit dozens of colleges and high schools around the country in order to inspire the next generation of creative thinkers and problem solvers. At every stop, we’ll open the doors of the exhibition, and give lectures and presentations to students not just about how design can change the world, but HOW to go about doing it right, armed with the right tools to engage with communities, and the right metrics to measure impact.
Join us. View our full itinerary here to see if we’re rolling into your town. We’ll see you on the road!
