Umbrella
Analogue Display for Digital Information
Fallblatt CGN
The exterior of Fallblatt CGN hides a high-quality analogue display for digital information. The solid, white composite material casing is made of the original parts of a flight-departure board and a modern internet-enabled control. In this way, it can display everything from the weather forecast to stock market information or even personal appointments, which can be synchronised with the Outlook calendar. The typical rattle made by a departure board announces messages and the blinking boarding lights act as appointment reminders.
Statement by the Jury
An original design idea that unites modern technology with historic components is at the origin of Fallblatt CGN, the analogue display for digital information.
