Second-class night train
Ippiart Studio designed the new modular interior system, that could be used for the most typical carriage models, that now operated by Russian Railways (for new or for refurbishing).

Preserving the conventional layout of carriages allows reducing costs. The new vision of design, ergonomics and answering for the passengers’ most popular requirements, allows achieving a fundamentally different level of comfort, the most focused on the convenience of travelling.
