Vestaboard is a Beautiful Compliment to The AAPL Collection
default.jpg Based in Dubai, The AAPL Collection is a private collection of vintage Apple products from 1976 onwards. Founder Jimmy Grewal purchased a Vestaboard to use inside their headquarters to show off information related to the collection and other fun things.

"Its beautiful design and the pitter-patter of the flaps make it a perfect fit for the atmosphere of the collection," says Grewal.

Vestaboard is a beautiful messaging display you can control from anywhere. It totally re-imagines the design of a split-flap display you might have seen in a European train station.
  • Control Vestaboard from your smartphone or computer with an easy-to-use app.
  • Send inspirational quotes and messages to your family when you’re traveling.
  • Share messages at home, from reminders and to-do lists to personal messages.
  • Create a shared messaging experience that grabs attention and enhances any space.
  • Share messages of celebration, greeting, or metrics with your work team or customers.
  • Allow others access to the board or control multiple Vestaboards in multiple locations.
  • 8,448 beautifully printed spinning flaps make a pleasing sound when the board is changing your messages.
  • Measures 22”h x 41.2”w x 3.2"d.
Vestaboard is an impressive alternative to a digital screen!
