Take just one look at this revamped 1973 Airstream Sovereign, and you might assume that the project’s mood board was full of airy Scandinavian spaces, or minimalist tiny homes.
You’d be wrong.
The custom floor is made from maple. As you lift storage hatches and walk through the Airstream, the pieces follow a sea-to-sun design that designers Schmitt and Jacobs developed in collaboration with Kyle.

"When you see it, it looks all earth tone and neutral—it’s very desaturated," says homeowner Kyle Krieger. "But the real inspiration is from Star Wars."
The hair stylist and content creator loves the sci-fi franchise as much as beautiful design, and with his new home (named Tuba after his beloved late dog), he gets it all. Design team Anna Jacobs and Damian Schmitt of Mountain Modern Airstream were more than game; not only do the couple specialize in Airstream renovations—a talent they developed through painstaking research and experimentation while working on their own tin can years ago—but Schmitt is a passionate Star Wars nerd, too.
A folding bench chair pulls out to provide extra table seating—though the table itself is mobile, too. It can be shifted to a second wall mount to act as a work space when Kyle craves a change of scenery.

Ceasarstone’s concrete collection was used for the countertops. A linear West Elm wall sconce provides a cheeky nod to the lightsaber.
