STOP
STOP is a doorstop made with recycled shoe soles.
Designed by Oregon-based designers Studio Gorm in the U.S.
Unlike your typical doorstop, a cone can wedge from any side. An innovative doorstop produced for Pidät by a shoe sole maker, we had an 'aha' moment when it occurred to us that shoe soles are durable and slightly flexible in just the way a doorstop needs to be.
You can upcycle otherwise discarded shoe soles by cutting them up and mixing them 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 - starting the circle of reuse again. The flakes in the rubber come from recycled shoe soles. For the rope, the raw material comes from 100% upcycled post-consumer waste plastic bottles, and it is colored using a water-free dying process.
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.
The 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.
