By day, a lounge. By night, a sleeping carriage. The same materials have to perform in both.
We are proud to be one of the material partners of DAY/DREAM, the new overnight rail concept by PriestmanGoode unveiled at InnoTrans 2026 in Berlin. The concept turns existing European rolling stock from daytime seating into an overnight sleeping environment, without the need for a dedicated sleeper fleet.
For DAY/DREAM, we developed the fabric for vertical surfaces, curtains and headboards across all three classes. It is a plant-based fabric, an 80/20 blend of recycled and raw plant-based cotton, engineered at a molecular level to meet fire retardancy requirements without compromising recyclability. At end of life, it can be broken down and reprocessed cleanly, with no chemical residue.
Finalist for a Crystal Cabin Award, it offers a circular alternative to the flame-retardant materials conventionally used in vertical surface applications.
Discover DAY/DREAM with us at InnoTrans 2026, Hall 1.1, stand 832, until 25 September.
