He created a complete travelling environment. Every element worked together: the graceful exterior, the bright yellow ceiling (which later earned the affectionate nickname \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Fagnolia”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as years of tobacco smoke gently discoloured it), polished grab rails, ribbed flooring and this distinctive woven moquette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou could be forgiven for thinking the rest of the bus was designed simply to complement the moquette.
