Moncalieri/Binasco (MI), Italy
Italian design powerhouse Italdesign and Russian-based TMH, Europe’s No.1 largest rail service have announced a collaboration to design the brand new Moscow Metro.
Moscow’s new Metro is one of the most important and most frequented mass transit systems in the world.
Other than that, it’s one of a kind: no other system in the world can compare with its opulent architecture; for its stunning spaces is one of the most interesting tourist attractions.
Italdesign co-worked with THM to develop the forward-looking design language for both the exterior and interior.
Functionality, elegance, ergonomics, and state-of-the-art technology are the common keywords Italdesign kept in mind to develop both exterior and interior.
LCD | LED high resolutions route monitors have been used to make the train perfectly visible from a distance, showing all the relevant information for the passengers.
Ergonomic seats, protective screens that separate seats from the entrance area, new handrails with a warm-to-the-touch cover over the whole surface, zoning illumination and an air disinfection system are some of the many features travelers can find onboard.
