This is most certainly a new one on me, SeatShirt.eu offer designs from the seats from trains, buses and trams to your t-shirt! I’ve always been fascinated by the miserable failure of public transport textile design. Though personally as a Brit, seeing those infamously awful yet familiar tartan patterns of the old ‘slammer’ trains replaced by plain and rather unnoticeable corporate patterns over recent years has been subconsciously disconcerting. I think I had grown to love the sad municipality of British design history without really knowing it, the home-made affair of ‘keen workers with an eye’ being given a chance (under union rules no doubt) to express their artistic bent in some small fashion.
Nowadays transport textiles are probably designed by corporate design groups armed with a team of hotshot psychologists and market researchers, however I can’t imagine what their remit would be? Something that doesn’t looked stained, even if it is, be it sweat, urine, alcohol, greasy takeaways or newspaper print. I’m not sure how often train seat covers are cleaned, but seeing as they’re stapled to the bench I doubt it’s very often. read more
