The Orient Express train has always been associated with luxury, romance and the golden age of train travel. Set to be launched in 2025, the the Orient Express has been re-imagined with the old historic carriages back in service. Prior to its launch in 2025, Orient Express reveals its never-before-seen décors.
From October 17th to 21st, ‘Orient Express Revelation’ was a digital experience that allowed participants a chance to discover the digital and fantastic carriages that reveal the stunning designs of architect Maxime d’Angeac.
A Look at the Designs of the Future Orient Express
This revealed a train with a fabulous design, inspired by the 1920s and designed with the codes of contemporary luxury.
The Orient Express designed included the decor of the future Bar-Car, a sumptuous showcase inviting passengers under large domes of light inspired by the Second Empire style. The bar area features a glass counter and an ideal tribute to René Lalique. At each table, a clock rings for cocktail and dinner times. A call button is reserved for the champagne service. Another for the staff.
The Dining-Car revisits the codes of the Orient Express. Maxime d’Angeac reinterprets the “rail” motif created by Suzanne Lalique-Haviland in the 1930s, which has been reworked on the partitions using the stoneboard technique. Under a mirrored ceiling, crossed by a series of arches, tables and wrap-around armchairs line up, lit by lampshades revisiting the original models.
The Suites features corners that are rounded, partitions covered with precious wood and leather and headboards embroidered with wood, mother of pearl and bronze.
The famous Lalique “Blackbirds & Grapes” panels, originating from the historic train, are displayed. At the time of the “Great Transformation”, the large sofas are revealed in the comfort of a large bed. A bathroom and dressing room complete the ingenious layout.
Even if you weren’t able to view the new Orient Express designs, you can get a taste of it at the video above.
