The concept of Isadora came from the Blue’s mad, quiet genius. He wanted to honor my Moldavian Gypsy heritage by creating a signature traveling wagon. He has spent devoted hours designing, mostly along the way, and executing his concepts.
The first winter of planning was spent chalking out the dimensions on the floor of our garage, standing inside the lines, reaching side to side, imagining and enacting reading, sleeping and eating in the space. Then came the questions of how it could be used. We knew it had to feature reclaimed history that could encompass a lifestyle, so we let the design developed beautifully into itself. The Vardo is our home for the journey. Kitchen off the back, sleeping conversion, storage and canopy. It is a creation of continual transformation.
We embrace opportunities to layer in color from the outside, to the inside, meld in Blue’s own Native heritage and embellish with developing designs seeded in innovation. He continues with forged iron work, adding to the design. Nothing happens that he doesn’t consider my thoughts, from the mundane functionality to the oddities.
It is his inspiration, beautiful mind and hands that continue to build our life together and every day I am enchanted anew!
