DAY #100: Split Flap and Picture Flap for Luxury Window Displays

Luxury Parisian department stores like Le Bon Marché and Galeries Lafayette set a high standard for bespoke window installations. Primarily deployed during the holiday season and for thematic exhibitions, these bespoke, high-concept installations transform a simple window into a "food-art universe".

Oat Foundry's custom-built displays, such as Split Flap and Picture Flap, serve as a memorable centerpiece for high-end exhibitions, using mechanical magic to bring spaces to life.

DAY #99: Oat Foundry for Iconic Signage

Iconic Signage isn't just simple wayfinding or lobby message boards. Iconic Signage, a term coined by architects and interior designers, encompasses:

🎨 Memorable Physical Presence
❤️ Invokes Strong Emotional Associations
🕰️ Permanent Installations
🪧 Highly Legible & Visible

In public spaces, this type of installation needs to go beyond digital screens or consumer signage. A large-scale, lasting display that turns into a destination is what our analog, mechanical displays are all about.

DAY #97: Oat Foundry for Heirloom Architecture

Did you know there's a vintage Solari board at The Met? As part of its Architecture & Design section, Solari was known for its high-quality, durable displays. Oat Foundry, as the only US-based company that customizes Split Flaps for brands, is the most similar display to Solari in terms of scale, craft, and size.

Bring a piece of architecture history into your space, modernized and reimagined for current use.

DAY #93: Split Flap for Wellness Centers

In 2026, the wellness industry is booming, projected to reach $10.36 trillion in 2030 (per Yahoo Finance). With more personalized care and a focus on real-world experiences, brands are shifting the way they treat spaces dedicated to rest and relaxation. Enter Split Flap, a tactile message board that can be slowed to create white noise reminiscent of light rain.

We find that Split Flap works great for guided meditations, reception greetings, smoothie and juice menus, and much more.
