EN 490 < ein zug schläft ein > mit silke joergenshaus


The design concept of this sleeping car is based on a saloon coach, just one floating space, no compartments. All voyagers can benefit from this open space, as they can hear, feel and run through it. There are no reservated seats, just some lockers for the luggage at the entrance and the possibility to do whatever you like at any moment of your journey.

The sleeping-area consists of changeable bucket seats, that become intimate bunkbeds at night. They enable each passenger to regulate his relation to the others in various ways, from communicative to isolated, with an immediate impact on the atmosphere of the whole coach.
At sleeptime the seats change to bed one by one and the car fells slowly asleep...

By rotating the seat-shells in its bed or seat position you can open or close your cabin in order to get more or less privacy. Need a place to sleep? -push your seat up and pull! You‘ll find a blanket and a pillow behind the door at the front end. Where you can also store your valuables at night.
