The brief: imagine the next seat for TER regional trains, with maximum repairability as the guiding thread.
Rather than replacing a whole seat when it gets damaged, the idea was to target the wear zones precisely — seat, headrest, armrests, backrest edges — and separate them into independent, interchangeable parts.
Over its life and repairs, the seat evolves: its parts change colour depending on the batches of spare parts produced.
Each seat thus tells its own story, and the carriage gradually takes on a patchwork look, where repair becomes visible rather than hidden.
