Project: Journey Beyond Gold Premium Carriages
Journey Beyond’s Gold Premium carriages convey the beauty and romance associated with slow travel, with a design response that is deeply contextual to the history and topography of Australia. Cross-country rail has long been a part of Australian travel, tracing back to the nineteenth century. The design restores the glamour of transcontinental travel capturing a genuine sense of place through locally crafted fixtures and finishes and paying homage to the original cars through revived art deco details and the recreation of cherished original features. W-B worked closely with Journey Beyond to curate a response that was sympathetic to both history and place.
