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.
