The 'Joyn' ridesharing concept has been designed by LAYER Design as a seating solution that will accommodate riders seeking a public or private experience when catching a ride.
The vehicle interior consists of airplane-style seating that allows riders to enjoy a comfortable experience when going to and/or from various urban locations. An S-style seat design puts a focus on fluidity, while also enabling passengers to make use of dividers or leave them out of the way to interact with their fellow riders.
The 'Joyn' ridesharing concept features a fold-out table for each seat, which will provide ample space for passengers to place food or drink, or even to use it as a makeshift workstation thanks to power access via a USB port.
