Vestaboard Black

Features:

The Vestaboard Black is the award-winning split-flap messaging display: the clatter and motion of a classic departure board, reimagined for the home, office or hospitality space and controlled from your phone. Its 132 characters are made from 8,448 physical spinning flaps, so every new message arrives with movement and sound. It is not a glowing screen.

A graphite-black aluminum frame reads as a sleek, gallery-like object on a pale or textured wall. Send a note to the family from across the country, schedule a morning greeting, post the day’s menu or let it run quotes, art and live updates. Vestaboard’s specially designed font is easy to read from a distance, and its characters are visible from over 50 feet.
