Adclino Subway Seating
Done in collaboration with Teague, Adclino is a retrofit subway seating system focused on reducing crowding during peak hours while accommodating the spacial needs of everyday subway users.
Inspired by theater seating, the chair folds upright during rush hours to form a sitting perch, increasing the square footage of the carriage floor and providing passengers more personal space. The chairs afford off-peak users with walkers and other bulky travel items (luggage, strollers etc.), keeping these items close at hand and clear of the walkway.
Adclino’s form mimes the body’s natural curvatures, allowing for a comfortable seat without utilizing maintenance intensive upholstery. To further ease maintenance, any piece of a chair can be replaced without removing the entire seating section.
