Great comments about the "Concept" trailer. This unit was brought to the
show to get feedback; obviously the flooring in this one is yellow. The
flooring does come in other colors. Based on feedback received it could be
built as shown or only portions used. I don't believe the photo does it
justice.
It is interesting reading the comments!

Hunter,
Once again, I think Mr. Deam has missed the mark in his interpretation of
Mid Century Modern.
Modern does NOT mean STERILE !
The design trick with clean lined furniture and design is to include colored
and textured accessories to display against the simple background.
Putting an aluminum trim extrusion around the edges of the countertop is
DUMB. It is an impractical decoration which is a pain to clean. Today, we
have much better countertop materials that modernist designers would have
drooled over. [Like post formed high pressure laminate (Formica, etc.),
solid surface materials (Corian, etc.), even TIG welded stainless steel.]
If Mr. Deam wanted to include an aluminum trim accent, he could have
recessed it in a groove on the front edge of a solid surface top.
Check out an In 'N Out Burger restaurant. They use white Corian table tops
with a piece of red acrylic plastic integrated into the edge - no grooves to
collect food or grime.
