2050 Lab unveils its new sleeper car design that makes transit much more comfortable, especially when travelers are spending the night on a train. It creates coupe capsules that have two tiers with a unique diagonal angle to create a herringbone silhouette. Every car is separated from one another by a wall and curtain to give passengers a sense of privacy.
The capsule has a sleeping space but it also has an extended berth and window. For those who prefer to do some work throughout the night, there is a table in that case. Additionally, the car has space to place travelers' luggage. Due to the limited space, many areas of its design serve multiple purses including the ledges with incorporated cushions to stand and rest.
