Facebook Gizmo Roomtool

2016, Ross Lovegrove

Industrial design for the updated Facebook’s internal meeting signage and booking system.

This controller is deployed on thousands of meeting rooms across Facebook’s headquarters around the world. A custom versatile mounting system is designed for easy install and adapts for many existing configurations, from wall mount to arm mount, on-glass bond and table stand. Edge-to-edge light bars, inspired by the glyph symbol used in computer coding, provide for maximum visibility at distance and from all angles. The case is made entirely out of metal, where machined extruded aluminium is cleverly used to obtain a seamless, single piece front embodiment.
