Description
Behind this item's unique design lies a sturdy and functional door stopper. Crafted from recycled teak and mango wood, each piece has its own character and story to tell. The perfect blend of style and sustainability.
"The more there is a story behind the birthing of the product, the more special it becomes. The story for this door stopper started in a town in Rajasthan State, India. We received a request from a scrap dealer to buy their antique shoe lasts. Some had a carved seal, some had metal fittings, but each one had a distinct character. How could we utilize these beautiful shoe lasts designed for the Indian people? The thought that came to mind was "it looks like a foot holding a door open." When producing a new item, it is easier to use a new material rather than recycled material. For this door stopper, we only added a few new parts and all of a sudden these retired shoe lasts made out of teak and mango wood were reborn as door stoppers. We wanted to keep the story of this product alive by using the existing raw materials of this shoe last turned door stopper."
