Challenge.

Challenged with a new interior architecture Fordyno was tasked with creating a vision to show the design possibilities in response to a relocation of all interior electrical cabinets. This provided opportunities at the front end of the car as well as the intercar sections.

Approach

Drawing a line in the sand, we aim to challenge conventional norms and push the boundaries of subway vehicle design. By boldly embracing cutting-edge technologies and futuristic aesthetics, we pave the way for a transformative shift in the industry, establishing our vehicle as a beacon of innovation and progress.

Exterior Design.

Evolution embodies a contemporary exterior design characterized by sleek technological aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from modern automotive and industrial design languages, it integrates them into the exterior of a rolling stock.

Prominent design features, such as pixelated digital lighting, are consistently applied, while elongated looping bands establish a seamless connection between the exterior and interior aesthetics.

 The front end is crafted with a carbon composite shell, optimizing the frontal viewing area and user experience, all while ensuring uncompromised structural integrity.

Interior Design.

A contemporary, sophisticated, and spacious interior meticulously crafted to leave a lasting impression. The interior design seamlessly blends minimalist aesthetics with intelligent detailing, featuring sleek floating screens complemented by ambient mood lighting. Emphasizing perceived quality, advocating for the integration of concealed fixings to minimize visual clutter.

Utilizing high-performance, sustainable fabrics increasingly adopted in metro systems worldwide, our design prioritizes both physical comfort and visual appeal. This approach strikes a harmonious balance between rigid materials like carbon fiber, plastics, and metals, while infusing a human-centric touch into the interior design.

Incorporating a modern color palette, with accents of green and blue lighting, our design adds an additional layer of ambiance, enveloping the interior in a soothing wash of color.

Designed Identity.

Adopting a strategic approach in design methodology allows for diversification in product designs to accommodate the unique preferences and cultural nuances of customers, much like how different flowers create a vibrant and diverse garden.

By incorporating distinctive features such as in this case pixel lights and shoulder cowls into their platforms, car builders can ensure their offerings remain identifiable while also respecting and complementing the individual visions of local authorities.
