Allegra DAchille

Scalzo is a tool that helps you take off your shoes when you arrive home. It is really easy to use and it fits seamlessly in a house entrance since it is really small. It also doubles as a door stopper. The hybrid functionalities of this object make this the must have for a foyer. This tool can be also used as an aid for elderly people or individuals with physical disabilities, since it can help them complete a daily task without the need of assistance and this can be really empowering for individuals with low autonomy. Scalzo is made out of oak wood, that is extremely resistant and durable since this object it is used on a daily bases. The product is realised by cutting a single piece of 3,5 cm thick wood that is then carefully sanded down to give it a smoother look. This product is realised completely by hand by one solid piece of wood.
