Compin designs seats for trains and buses and has done so passionately for more than 100 years. They have two main goals: passenger comfort and efficiency for operators.

Challenge

Develop seats for metro trains in Porto, Portugal, which look good, but also increase the efficiency and flexibility of the underground vehicles.

Solution

A folding seat which is comfortable when folded down, and when folded up can still be used by passengers to lean against, allowing the passengers to still be comfortable while also allowing more people onto the train. The Eclipse makes it easier for public transport to deal with space efficiently.
