Tubik goes even further: it cocoons passengers in a lounge-like space designed for relaxation, with modular seats that can be arranged in different configurations, including semi-reclining and face to face. With Tubik, the journey is just as important as the destination.
Tubik’s lines are a nod to “the TUB”. Shaped like its legendary predecessor, Tubik is generously proportioned (2.08 m wide, 2.05m high and 4.80m long) to carry up to nine passengers.The passenger living area is a lounge-style cocoon featuring materials taken from the worlds of architecture and interior design: felt for the seats, silk for the backrests and door panels and leather for the floor.
