Step inside, and you’ll feel it — Sloomoo Chicago isn’t your average exhibit.
Here’s a breakdown of what makes this immersive sensory wonderland stand out, especially through the lens of David G. Flatt Furniture Ltd., the engineering and fabrication force behind key design features like tactile walls, kinetic sand tables, and digital display mounts.
Touch-Centric Design That Sparks Emotion
Froofroo’s Feels, one of the exhibit’s central attractions, invites visitors to physically interact with a series of textures embedded in sculptural, CNC-cut panels. Every hand-sized pod is different — furry, rubbery, bumpy, or slick — and each one represents a different emotion or sensory reaction. This isn’t just decoration; it’s a deeply intentional use of touch to promote emotional awareness. David G. Flatt Furniture Ltd., engineered and fabricated these curvy white sensory walls with precision, ensuring structural integrity while maintaining a playful flow.
Custom-Built Digital Interfaces
Mounted throughout the exhibit are touchscreen displays with engaging content, all set inside amoeba-shaped enclosures. These screen stations aren’t off-the-shelf solutions — they’re framed with custom mounts fabricated to blend into the fantastical aesthetic of the space. Each touchpoint is an invitation to meet your “Sloomoo Sidekick,” guiding visitors on a playful personality journey. It’s a great example of how tech and tactile can co-exist with seamless design support.
The Kinetic Sand Zone: Built to Engage
A glowing room with neon-painted walls and a sculptural sand table catches every eye. This table, designed and fabricated by David G. Flatt Furniture Ltd., anchors one of the most kinetic experiences in the space. The organic form of the table invites multiple participants at once, promoting collaborative play, while the overhead mirrored bowls and UV lighting add a surreal dimension. The entire setup is engineered to withstand constant use, because once kids (and adults) get their hands in the sand, they don’t want to stop.
Strategic Use of CNC Cutting
From the amoeba-style screen mounts to the flowing tactile wall elements, CNC cutting was key to achieving the fluid, blob-like shapes that define the exhibit’s look. Precision was critical. David G. Flatt Furniture Ltd. used its advanced CNC services to ensure clean curves and consistent shapes across materials, translating a wild artistic vision into a real-world build that could be assembled on-site with minimal disruption.
Commercial Design With Durability
Though this is a space aimed at fun, the commercial-level durability behind each piece matters. Everything from the sand tables to the wall installations had to be fabricated for repeated use in a high-traffic environment. David G. Flatt Furniture Ltd. balanced creativity with long-term wearability, helping Sloomoo maintain its interactive integrity day after day. Learn more about our commercial capabilities!
