What if a smart-home brand felt less like a device catalogue and more like a place with centuries of stories? Furlong, a fictional racing institution dating to 1711, turns that challenge into a digital experience rooted in the drama of the track. Its design doesn’t simply borrow heritage cues; it makes time itself part of the visual language.

The case study follows the making of a two-dimensional page that suggests movement, depth and the charged pause before a race begins. At its centre is a signature technique called the time-folded slit camera, used to shape how the scene unfolds and how visitors look through it. That approach offers an unexpected lesson for home appliances and smart-home design: a clear interface can still have atmosphere, character and a strong sense of place.
See how the team translated a racing story into a distinctive digital room, and why one unusual camera idea became the key to making the whole world feel alive. The full field notes reveal what happens when the page starts to move.
