[Tokyo Metro] Tozai Line & Hanzomon Line Colors! The train seat transforms into a cushion

The upcycled long cushion, created in collaboration between Tokyo Metro and a long-established cotton manufacturer, has made its appearance. Since it uses the Metro's seat fabric, you can feel like you're on a train while being at home. The finish is irresistible for fans.

I thought, "Where have I seen this color...?" and it makes sense. The "Tokyo Metro Seat Upcycle Long Cushion" is an upcycled cushion made from the seat fabric used by Tokyo Metro. In addition to the special feeling of using real seats, there is also the benefit of being environmentally friendly.

It can be used in countless ways, such as during relaxation time at home or placed on the seats of your beloved car. It serves as a companion to reflect on years of commuting by subway and can also be invaluable as a toy for children at times.

From the seat to the long seat cushion

The process of turning it into a cushion is also a key point. Normally, the seat fabric would be discarded, but it is carefully collected and cleaned one piece at a time.

From the removed seat fabric, selected pieces are reused. The amount that can be produced is limited—15 sets for large sizes and 15 to 40 sets for small sizes. This rarity is also appealing.

The inner material of the long cushion uses a recycled elastomer structure adopted in public transportation seats. It is carefully wrapped in a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, ensuring durability and comfort without complaint.

Once the newly prepared fabric is fitted with the inner material and shaped, it is complete. Each piece is hand-sewn by artisans.

The route map is printed with environmentally friendly ink, making it safe for homes with babies or pets. The fact that each one is carefully inspected is also appealing.

It's nice that a "Upcycle Certificate" issued by Tokyo Metro is attached.

Available in 2 patterns × 2 sizes
