Using a wedge as a door stopper seems like a perfect solution, and it’s probably been around for centuries, in one material or another.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because the object is ubiquitous, it’s easy to ignore. But industrial designers John and Wonhee Arndt, a\/k\/a Studio Gorm<\/a>, recognized that the object could use improvement. They’ve designed a doorstop that’s far easier to interact with, comes with a built-in way to store it when not in use, and looks a damn sight better:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“[It’s] made in Portugal at a shoe sole factory,” the duo writes. “The flakes are recycled shoe sole waste that has been ground and mixed in.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Design for a circular economy.The doorstop is designed for easy assembly and disassembly. All the parts can be separated and recycled. The flakes in the rubber come from RCS certified post-industrial recycled shoe sole grind. For the rope, the raw material is GRS certified polyester from 100% upcycled post-consumer waste plastic bottles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Packaging.There is no label attached, and no packaging that needs to go to the landfill. All of the information about your doorstop is printed on a reusable cotton pouch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Called Stop<\/a>, it’s in production by Finnish brand Pidat.<\/a><\/p>\n

Just a reminder that you can always improve the UX of everyday objects.\u00a0<\/p>\n
