Modernization of SBB’s IC2000 train carriage interior design
On behalf of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), Milani conceptualized and developed the interior design for the modernized IC2000 and ICN double-decker carriages. Modernizing the train interiors was an attractive way of extending the service life cycle of the SBB rail carriages while at the same time meeting rising passenger expectations in terms of comfort, communication and safety.
Stylish refurbishment of IC2000 trains
Milani has retained the distinctive elements of the IC2000 trains, such as the comfortable seating and red and blue felt stripes running along the ceiling, but has given them new life with additional lighting and bright luggage racks.
Energy-saving LED fixtures provide indirect lighting. This creates a dome of light around the darker seating area, which makes the space appear more spacious and open and also creates a pleasant ambiance. Innovative materials, as well as modern surfaces and textures, also make for a more comfortable travel experience. The specially developed folding tables with high-quality metal inserts form the center of each seating section, creating a comfortable social environment. Each seat now also has its own power outlet and the business zones in first class feature inductive charging points for the wireless charging of cell phones.
