Design Studies for Innovative Interior Concepts in Public Transit
New mobility habits, shifting expectations after COVID, and the growing demand for more comfort, safety, and privacy are shaping the way we will travel tomorrow. Through design studies, Milani develops forward-looking concepts for public transit that make emerging needs visible early on and translate them into inspiring solutions.
From Trends to Concepts: Responding to Changing Travel Behaviors
At Milani, design studies are a strategic tool to transform societal changes into innovative interior concepts. Since COVID, passenger expectations have shifted: travelers want more compartments and partitioned spaces, seek new forms of privacy and safety, and look for flexible layouts that can adapt to different situations – whether as a lounge-like experience or a productive work setting. Functional details also play a decisive role, from soundproofing for phone calls and optimized luggage storage to smart lighting that creates a cozy, private atmosphere.
We explore how these trends influence the design of seats, layouts, and service zones, and how they can be applied to both first and second class. With our design studies, we anticipate the trains of tomorrow and open up new perspectives for operators and manufacturers, long before these developments become industry standards.
