AETHERstream by Thierry GaugainThe brainchild of two movie producers who wanted stylish and functional outdoor clothing, <a href="http://www.aetherapparel.com/">Aether apparel</a> has always been ahead of the renewable curve. Having already installed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panels">solar panels</a> on the roof of their California headquarters, when scouting for a pop-up shop, the group leapt on the idea to gut and restore a used airstream. <a href="http://www.intramuros.fr/">Thierry Gaugain</a> from France put together a few concept diagrams they couldn't resist, and the team set about realizing "the ultimate guy’s workshop, an adventure lab on wheels, a mobile man cave." It wasn't always easy, but finally, after weeks of hard work, the industrial-chic AESTHERstream is officially on the road.1
