Metro40 : BMW Group DesignworksUSA Takes Design Excellence to City Streets

People are in motion all around the globe. Managing people in motion and helping cities provide the comfortable, attractive, high-quality facilities and amenities required to build a broader constituency for public streetscapes and public transit was the starting point for the partnership between BMW Group DesignworksUSA and Landscape Forms, North America's leading designer and manufacturer of site furniture for outdoor spaces.

This first collaboration creates a range of essential furnishing elements for urban transit cores.

The global collection which will be sold under the name Metro40 is the most complete collection on the market and includes furniture, shelters, lighting, and amenities, and has been developed for use by city planners and architects to help global urban centers elevate the livability, quality of experience, design appeal and overall image of their public transit systems.

DesignworksUSA's experience in automotive and other types of design for mobility, from airplanes to trains to yachts, provides a comprehensive understanding of global transportation demands.

Additionally, DesignworksUSA is known as experts in translating a company's brand values and business benefits into emotional design statements.

Landscape Forms brings expertise in urban streetscape furniture and amenities of exceptional quality.

Both firms share a deep commitment to design excellence and sustainability in materials, structures and processes, all of which is apparent in Metro40.
