When the legendary Italian design house Pininfarina turns its eye toward life on the move, elegance takes an entirely new form. Partnering with AC Future, the brand reveals a visionary collection of fold-out trailer homes that blend electric mobility with refined, off-grid living. This is travel reimagined — where sophistication meets self-sufficiency.

Mobility with Style

True to its heritage, Pininfarina brings sculptural grace and functional purpose to every surface and line. The design isn’t just about movement — it’s about how beauty moves with you. Each trailer folds out to reveal a spacious sanctuary, transforming ordinary travel into a luxurious experience that feels both modern and timeless.

Three Distinct Models

The collection introduces three designs, each crafted for a different way of living:

  • AI-THu: A compact 400-square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ideal for backyards or temporary retreats. It’s adaptable luxury at its finest.

  • AI-THt: A 24-foot towable trailer that unfolds into a full residence, designed purely for living beautifully on the road.

  • AI-THd: The flagship model. A motorized vehicle that expands on three sides to become a 400-square-foot home. When parked, its cockpit transforms into a chic lounge.

Each concept recently earned a 2025 Red Dot Design Concept Award, a testament to Pininfarina’s mastery of design innovation.

A New Era of Luxury Travel

At first glance, the AI-THd looks like a sleek 26-foot RV. But once expanded, it doubles in size and unveils a beautifully designed interior with clean lines and curated materials. The transition from cockpit to living space feels seamless, creating a setting that’s both sophisticated and intuitive.

Off-Grid Freedom

Beneath the elegance lies advanced sustainability. The trailers feature solar awnings, AI-controlled systems, and atmospheric water generation that extracts drinkable water from the air. Every function works in harmony, allowing residents to live off-grid without ever sacrificing comfort. From the kitchen to the climate control, every detail reflects precision and purpose.

Designed for the Modern Nomad

Starting around $300,000, these fold-out homes appeal to design connoisseurs, forward-thinking entrepreneurs, and modern travelers who want luxury that moves with them. It’s a statement for those who see mobility as an extension of lifestyle — not a compromise.

The Future of Living

As the boundaries between home and travel continue to blur, Pininfarina and AC Future offer more than a mobile residence — they offer a new philosophy of living. These fold-out homes prove that luxury doesn’t need to stay still. It can expand, evolve, and journey alongside you.
