PriestmanGoode's DAY/DREAM debuts with Muirhead materials

Unveiled today at InnoTrans 2026, DAY/DREAM is a new overnight rail interior concept from PriestmanGoode that explores a new vision for long-distance rail travel.

Muirhead is proud to be a specialist material partner on the project, with BioTAN^® leather and BioPRO^® foam featured across seating applications within the concept.

Designed to support comfort, durability and operational flexibility, DAY/DREAM showcases Muirhead's vertically integrated seating solution, combining leather and foam across an interior designed to perform equally well by day and by night.

BioTAN leather is used for full seat and headrest applications in Business and Economy, while BioPRO, Muirhead's patented protein-derived foam technology, features within the First Class area. Together, they highlight how complementary material technologies can support modern rail interiors.

Kevin Smith, Mass Transit Director at Muirhead, said:

"DAY/DREAM asks a lot of its materials – they need to feel premium for a passenger relaxing in the lounge, and durable enough to withstand continuous day-and-night operation across a long-distance rail network. That is exactly the challenge our vertically integrated seating solution is built for. Muirhead leather is the lowest-carbon leather available anywhere in the world, our BioTAN innovation takes that philosophy a further step forward, while BioPRO brings the same ethos to foam, using our own manufacturing by-products to naturally resist fire without the chemical additives this sector has relied on until now. We're proud to support a concept that shows sustainable, high-performance materials and genuine passenger comfort are not a trade-off."

Visitors to the Muirhead stand at InnoTrans can see the DAY/DREAM concept and a new twin rail seat designed by PriestmanGoode, manufactured by TAPS and featuring Muirhead Thyme and Charcoal leather.
