This You’ve Got Mail Door Stopper from Qualy is a clever doorstop that makes it look like there’s a letter that’s been dropped off for you, and it’s peeking out from under the door.
It’s a white envelope, or at least looks like one.
As a matter of fact, it does double as a letter box on the other side, so it’s a good example of symbolic functionalism.
That’s when the form, as in the look and design of a creation, matches its function. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan would no doubt be happy to use this doorstopper instead of email.
It’s much more personal and gives you an inexplicable feeling of joy every time you come back and see a letter lying on your doorstep.
This one comes in white, but you can get it on other colors commonly used for envelopes
