How Split Flap Displays Are Used in Offices & Lobbies
Split Flap clients use our displays to cut through the digital noise with a single, concise message. Bridging nostalgic design with contemporary office needs, a Split Flap display acts more than signage – it signals intention and sets the tone for your office.
Scroll down to see a few examples of practical and popular workplace applications.
Greeting Guests
We’ve found that Split Flap displays are an exceptional focal point for headquarters, especially within lobbies, employee break rooms, innovation centers, company third spaces, customer experience centers, and other core areas within the workplace. If you’re looking for something more image-driven, our Picture Flap display can also be a great solution for showrooms and main points of entry.
Fostering Company Culture
For the more “fun” offices out there – like ours of course – the Split Flap can share everything from birthdays to KPIs to employee milestones on our Split Flaps. Gamify the work day with a Split Flap scavenger hunt or share a rotation of good news. Have a consistent place to display your core values or have an interactive sales leaderboard!
Here at Oat Foundry, we know that life happens on the fly, so we show it off in a flipping cool way!
