Eurostar on TRAX with OMK's most luxurious seating range yet!

The stunning new Eurostar Terminal at St Pancras Station has the luxurious TRAX high back seating manufactured in coach hide leather in its public seating areas.

OMK worked closely with the architects Land Design Studio Limited to develop a customized version of their award-winning seating system which was originally designed and developed for Intercity Rail.

OMK were chosen by Eurostar to provide a distinctively up-market specification seat with one major criteria, that it had to have an aura of "Britishness" about it and the essential quality of being durable together with being elegant on the eye. The TRAX system, which has been developed for passenger terminals and public seating requirements around the world was constructed with a high back offering full body support and covered in saddled stitched coach hide. For OMK this contract is very prestigious as the company's founder Rodney Kinsman comments, 'as this is the new gateway to Europe we were proud to contribute to the design process and recommend the use of coach hide, in order that with long term use the material would create a patina evocative of the era of custom made travel trunks'.

The TRAX system has also been installed in the intermediary Eurostar terminal at Ebbsfleet.
