Part retro caravan, part philosophical shrug, Loserbago is Brad Spalding’s homage to the stripped-back, rust-bitten romance of a simpler life on the road.

Built from weathered corrugated iron and formed in the classic teardrop silhouette, Loserbago pokes fun at the flash and excess of modern Winnebagos. Instead of air-con and espresso machines, this caravan offers nothing but the essentials — steel, shape, and a story. It’s a humble shell, earthy and raw, wrapped in the texture and tones of the Australian landscape.

At night, lit from beneath, Loserbago appears to float — part alien lander, part backyard dream. It won the 2014 Illumination Award at the Lake Light Sculpture exhibition for exactly that reason: it glows with quiet rebellion.

Like a nautilus or a hermit crab’s shell, it speaks to mobility, self-reliance, and the kind of traveller who’s not chasing luxury… just somewhere to pull over and exist.
