Pidät | STOP Doorstop (Petrol) by Studio Gorm
Unlike your typical doorstop, STOP can wedge from any side.
STOP is produced by a Portuguese shoe sole maker from a mix of synthetic rubber and recycled shoe sole grind. You can upcycle otherwise discarded shoe sole production waste by grinding it up and mixing it in. The flakes look beautiful, and they're recycled.
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.
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.

Designers
'STOP' was designed by Oregon-based American designers John & Wonhee Arndt of STUDIO GORM. With backgrounds in sculpture and craft, they have a playful approach to materials that is a great match for Pidät. In their design work, they pay particular attention to culture, history and technology, and how objects evolve to fit the needs of modern life.
