A TWA Hotel Special, aired by CBS, talks about the split-flap display manufactured by SOLARI DI UDINE SPA.
"Morse wanted everything done right – from the signature clock in the center atrium, to the chili pepper red sunken lounge, to the iconic Solari departure boards, all restored to their original 1962 glory. "We wanted to be historically authentic here," Morse said. Which meant going to Udine, Italy, two hours outside of Venice, where the original board was made 57 years ago. The flip signs (and their distinctive sound) have been a staple of train stations and airports worldwide. Then as now, the sign's 34,000 flaps are created by hand."

The first Starbucks in Italy will communicate with its customers through the palette display designed and produced by Solari Udine.
It's called Reserve Roastery, the new format of the world coffee giant from Seattle, which will open to the public tomorrow in Piazza Cordusio in Milan, for the first time in Italy. Inside the 2,300 square metres of the historic Palazzo delle Poste, just a few steps away from the Duomo, the palette display created by Solari is clearly visible from the entrance. In airports and stations all over the world, the sound of the time displays being updated has become an icon of travelling: this is why Starbucks has decided to communicate with its customers in the same evocative way.
More than four metres wide and more than two metres high, the display board contains 13 lines of text and 64 columns of letters and numbers and will be updated daily or several times a day with promotions, offers, menus and all the communications to customers that the restaurant would like to give. It took about 6 months of work to create it in the Solari factory in Udine: the display is coloured with a special paint coming from London, a particular green chosen ad hoc according to the style and furnishings of the restaurant, completely different from the international format we are used to, but they are a tribute to Made in Italy.
"The project for the Roastery started in 2014 - says the President of Solari Massimo Paniccia - we work directly with the Starbucks headquarters for which we have already built two displays for the restaurants of Seattle (the hometown of the multinational) and Shanghai. The aim is to convey the emotion of the journey linked to coffee. What better object, then, than the displays that have always made billions of people travel around the world".
These days Solari is testing the display for the new Starbucks in Tokyo. "The roastery in Milan is a wonderful challenge for Solari. Working alongside the multinational company - explains Katia Bredeon, marketing manager - is a unique experience: they appreciate our know-how and our all-Italian ability to combine craftsmanship, style and excellence. They were able to convey an innate sense of belonging in the realisation of a project that Starbucks itself considers a dream coming true, as the founder Howard Schultz has said several times during the opening event dedicated to the partners".
The management of Starbucks has been able to involve the best Italian companies in the sector that, coordinated by their architects, designers and project managers, have cooperated for a year and a half in the creation of a real work of art. " Our display is different and unique from the others, for the dimension and the colour they have chosen. As a Starbucks partner, we are ready to cooperate with them for the new openings planned in Italy and around the world with the new format".

The Italian design by Solari chosen for one of the biggest and ambitious contract projects of the world. It’s name is Yemeksepeti Foods Park, and it is the new office park of the multinational Turkish food Company. 10.000 sqmt designed by a big architecture firm, Erginoğlu & Çalışlar.
Like a social network of the office life, the big split-flap display by Solari (who were used to display departure and arrival times in airports and stations throughout the world) will enhance the dynamic and collaborative atmosphere of the new office. The display, indeed, will share in real time the number of the orders, company goals and curiosities, such as birthdays of the employees and every day news, interacting directly with the workers.
The aim of the project is to re-design the workplace concept, to transform the closed and aseptic environment in a multifunctional and social oriented space; the designers define the newly built offices as a “workplace, but with the home comforts”: the building hosts bar, game rooms, library, a photo studio, swings, billiard, ping-pong tables, gym, chess room and playstation rooms.
The multinational has requested the analogical support as nostalgic response to the “cold digital screen”, that today is an ineluctable part of our lifes, at home and at work. The unmistakably sound of the updating of the Solari board represent the past, but encompasses also a new meaning for the future. Other international designers chosen the Italian split-flap display for their projects. Listing a few of the latest project: the new Roastery of Starbucks in Seattle, Shanghai, Milan, New York and Tokio, renowned Chefs such Alain Ducasse in the new Champeaux Restaurant, FENDI Man for the Autumn/Winter Collection 2018-2019. Last but not least the Solari board continues to symbolize the time of the traveler, and even the most awaited Hotel of the world will have the reproduction of the ‘60s split-flap display: the new TWA, that at the end of 2018 will reborn as a luxury hotel and business space.
During the Milano Fashion Week, on 15 January Fendi launched the new Fall/Winter 2018-19 Collection. Mood of the set-up was the passengers world: they built-up a small airport, complete with Baggage claim and our split-flap airport display that was customized for the occasion. Our split-flap board beated the time of the event, presenting the parading models.

For Black Friday, solari lineadesign offers a 20% of discount for the clocks ordered via online store www.store.solarilineadesign.com, exclusively during November 24 from 0.01 am to 11.59 pm.
You need to enter the website, and use the Coupon Code - that you can request at webmarketing@solari.it - a unique opportunity to purchase the iconical Italian design clock, that since 1960 is a Made-inItaly renowned item throughout the world.
Cifra 3 is the table clock designed by Gino Valle, characterized by the split-flap system developed and patented by Remigio solari. It is a renowned design icon, so that it was included inside the permanent collection of MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) of New York.
Dator 60 is a clock and perpetual calendar: thanks to the unmistakable spli-flap system, it displays hours and minutes, days of the week and month, in automatic, also updating February 29 and leap years. It is produced in two versions, horizontal or vertical. Design, ingenuity and innovation, with an unmistakable sound.
Perfect and unchanging: like time itself / Rollers with digits which flip over cleanly and precisely, minute after minute. With no hands to interpret, the Cifra 3 is a table clock with white digits on a black background. The lettering has a different typeface for hours and minutes and was chosen by Massimo Vignelli at the end of the sixties. Its functioning has remained unchanged since 1966: with periods of alternating current, which are converted into units of time, and the motor which generates the rotary movement of rollers and flaps. Simple and perfect.
Today, just as it was fifty years ago, the mechanical perfection of the Cifra 3 is still dependent on the skilled craftsmanship of the person who assembles tha flaps by hand, one by one, in a specific sequence.
They are the perfect gift for the upcoming holidays: choosing Cifra 3 and Dator 60 means only one thing: giving a piece of design that, thanks to the skilled craftsmanship, keeps the mechanical perfection that, since 1966, makes the digits rotate simply and perfectly.
NEW YORK - At New York’s JFK Airport, the world's most anticipated hotel, the TWA Hotel, now has a touch of Italian design: set to open at the end of 2018, it has already become one of the most interesting attractions among the Big Apple’s must-see tourist destinations and among international design and architecture enthusiasts.
Italian design is already prominently featured in the TWA Lounge, which opened a few days ago on the 86th floor at One World Trade Center, with Solari’s split-flap displays. For over 50 years, these displays have been the finest expression of design when it comes to keeping time thanks to flip technology, allowing travellers to view departures and arrivals, with its distinctive flipping sound.
The display was manufactured in Italy in the oval shape typical of the works by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, who designed the old 1962 TWA terminal that has remained unused since 2001, as it could no longer accommodate the ever-increasing number of passengers. The original display, designed by Italian architect Gino Valle, was enclosed by an oval shell designed by Saarinen, completely covered with white tiles made by the renowned mosaicists of the school of Spilimbergo, in the province of Pordenone: the structure was preserved and Solari is currently working on creating a new identical split-flap display.
The recently opened lounge allows JFK passengers to delve into the past: it has a deliberately vintage look, from the furnishings to flight attendant uniforms, but also merchandising and cigarettes, including the split-flap display by Solari. In the 1960s version, it was enclosed by an oval shell designed by Saarinen, completely covered with white tiles made by the renowned mosaicists of the school of Spilimbergo, in the province of Pordenone.
“With the opening of the Twa Hotel, Solari is, once again, a global leader, a classic symbol of travel time and an icon of Italian design,” Massimo Paniccia, president of Solari, comments. “In addition to being one of the busiest airports in the world and a business space, JFK will now become a travel destination in itself thanks to this hotel: Solari will also provide it with a touch of Italian design.”
It was essential for each detail of this project to be historically accurate, which is why Taylor Morse, CEO of MCR, the company that owns the future hotel, decided to visit Solari in Udine in person, together with Richard Southwick, Director of Historic Preservation, to verify the feasibility of the project. The company was able to find out about all the original 1960s projects to make sure that the two displays for the hotel’s lobby are exactly the same as the original ones.
Designed and created especially for travellers, Solari's flip clocks are used in homes and offices all around the world. Today, thanks to the Solari lineadesign project, the two cult models - the small table clock Cifra 3 and Dator 60, which also displays the day of the week and date - have been put back into production and can be purchased in Europe, the USA, Russia and Japan. Taking travelling time also to your home. www.solarilineadesign.com
The opening of the TWA Hotel will be a landmark event for the USA, in fact leading U.S. magazines are already raving about it.

The 2016 turnover is approved, with a total amount of the business incoming in 42,7 millions of Euros.
“It is the best turnover since I’m in Solari, even from 1964, when Solari was sold to Pirelli. Thanks to a Company’s mission that looks always forward to innovation and international development: we’re a worlwide Institution for Public Information Systems and for the public transport area.” (Massimo Paniccia)
Many journals have communicated the news throught the media / read the articles by:
Udine today, Rai3 - TG Regione, Ansa, Diario di Udine, Il Nord Est Quotidiano, Agi.it, Corriere del Web, Il Gazzettino, Tiscali News, Il Friuli, etc.
Built in 1962, the shapely building was designed by Eero Saarinen to usher in the Jet Age. Designated a New York City landmark in 1994 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, it has been unused for the last 14 years because it couldn’t fit modern aircraft.
However, is going to be given a new life to the terminal —as an hotel. Due to its historic status, the building will be completely restored as it was back in 1962.
One of the main features of the terminal is the split-flap display Solari designed by architect Gino Valle and enclosed into the unmistakable oval shell designed by Eero Saarinen, completely covered with white tiles made by the famous Italian mosaic school of Spilimbergo.
Today, the developers are working with Solari, to produce the flap board exactly as it was 54 years ago, using the authentic split-flap technology developed by Remigio Solari in the 50s.
For further information in regards to the under-construction hotel, below few articles:
USA Today, Galerie Magazine, AirSpace Magazine, The Atlantic, Untapped Cities, Archinect, The New York Times, etc.
This technology has replaced the older LED based signs seen at many transit systems throughout the world. This new technology allow for video clips and safety messages to be played along with the traditional count down clock train information seen nearly throughout the transit system. Solaricorp supplied the signage for the recently opened 2nd Avenue Subway which is the newest subway line for the New York City Transit Authority.
This new line was proposed nearly a 100 years ago but due to various economic conditions over the years the project was restarted in earnest about 10 years ago.
The Second Avenue Subway reduces overcrowding and delays on the Lexington Avenue line, improving travel for both city and suburban commuters, and provides better access to mass transit for residents of the far East Side of Manhattan. The line is being built in phases; the first phase of the Second Avenue Subway provides service from 96th St. to 63rd St. as an extension of the Q Line train.
Phase 1 Benefits:
SOLARI DI UDINE. The Company of time since 1725
That of Solari is a story of generations, 300 years long: born in 1725 in Pesariis, a small town in the mountains of Carnia Friuli. A story of beauty, talent and creativity: it was 1956 when Remigio Solari invented the mechanical flip display system… and 10 years later Gino Valle created the new roller with horizontal leaves.Since then that roller is the stylistic characteristic of the company.
“The great power of Solari Udine - said Massimo Paniccia, CEO of Solari - is to have created a technology and a unmistakable design that, after 50 years, can still evoke emotions to people worldwide. I think that is the best recognition that a Company can receive. Indeed, Solari re-launched in production his historical clocks, in order to enter the houses of every passenger, bringing them a little bit of that emotion.”
Today, you can purchase the iconical clocks Cifra 3 and Dator 60, via the all-new online store: store.solarilineadesign.com.
Solari di Udine is the time company: the time of a person, the time of a traveler and of large-scale transport, the time of intelligent cities, the time to serve the community and improve the quality of life.
With the design and production entirely Made in Italy, Solari continues to mark the history of time, industrial clock-making, information display systems for the public, the management of stay areas at the major international hubs.
Solari has currently installed about 3,000 systems of various types worldwide (airports, railways, motorways, public information etc.), which confirms its outright leadership position on the international market.
Is estimated that, with his systems installed worldwide, Solari moves 5 billions of people annually. SOLARI KEEPS THE WORLD MOVING!
SOLARI CORP. NY subsidiary of Solari
Solari Corp is part of the Solari Group; it is a wholly owned subsidiary of SOLARI DI UDINE SPA, established in 2005.
Solari operates inside the USA market since the early years of 60s, for example with the renowned split-flap display, supplied in 1962 for the TWA Terminal inside the JFK Airport of New York, or with the display systems for ABC New York during the American Presidential election in 1964 and 1968.
In January 1966 was established the Solari America Inc. (SAI), appointing Joseph Malady as chief of the Company; this is a demonstration of the culture of Solari, who believes in the power of local collaborators. For over 20 years, Solari America Inc. has worked in the market of Public transportation and of industrial clocks with clients such Port Authority, for the restoration of the public information display for Kansas City or Chicago Airports. In addition, Solari has achieved to be featured inside the Museum of Modern Art of New York, that has included the Cifra 3 - designed by Gino Valle with lettering by Massimo Vignellii - inside his permanent collection.
In 1982, after the Solari Udine’s Company restoration, Solari America subsidiary was closed, entrusting the activities to CDS, Company that was founded by an ex collaborator: Frank Klich, who was first a Technical Director and then an Operative Director. The partnership keep on with great rewards until the 2005, when Frank Klich decided to retire.
Whereupon Solari Udine founded Solari Corp, hiring the CDS’s collaborators to take care of the works into the American market, pursuing the historical spirit of the Company: be actively attended inside the local market. During the firsts years, the American Company worked to ensure the selling of the last technologies, and to keep high the customer care services for the historical clients such LIRR, New Jersey City Transit, Trimet, MTA, Metro North, MBTA Boston, etc.
Nowadays Solari Corp has a little production line, with American specialized operators. The Company strategy aims, in the next years, to strengthen Solari Corp, believing into the American market and into the local human resources.
