Is there an actual reason behind it?
I heared it is that way so you dont see the dirt on the chairs
I also heard a claim that such patterns can (marginally) discourage graffiti of the seats. And if branding is a thing you care about, they can reflect some parts of that. London S-Stock trains’ seats point to the lines where they run, and there have been Danish trains that straight up feature the old DSB logo in the seat pattern.
Wasn’t this just to make grafittis on the seats invisible enough to deter
minepotential teenage artists?It was scientifically proven that the squiggly lines make the seat seem cleaner than it actually is.*
*Or not.
The only pattern that can seemlessly integrate vomit, yoghurt, chocolate and bubblegum into itself and look completely unchanged afterwards.
That’s why hotel carpets have similar godawful patterns. You can’t spot the stains.
