Dory sign

The Door Sign Reinvented. Introducing Dory, the world's most beautiful, personal and functional door sign (introductory price).

We want everyone to have their perfect door sign. That's why we made Dory – an elegant, modern and future proof solution featuring a high resolution ePaper display from E Ink, swappable frames and app control. It's a friendly welcome to both guests and yourself – and adds a touch of style and personality to your entrance.

Beautiful from every angle

• Latest generation of high resolution 5.2" ePaper display from E Ink. Shows text, illustrations and even photos with impressive detail and clarity.
• Handpicked fonts and designer made templates.
• Floating design for an elegant mount on both smooth and rugged surfaces.

Customizable for personal taste and surroundings

• Blend in or stand out with our swappable frames. The Dory kit comes with a versatile light gray frame to suit any surroundings – but can easily be swapped for frames in different colours, designs and real materials such as wood, metal and stone.
• Dory collaborates with renown artists and designers to offer a wide variety of expressions for both the physical frames and screen content. First off are Dory by Sandra Blikås, Dory by Kvass and Dory by Anti.
• Some series of frames will explore other shapes or sizes – such as the wood carved edition by Kvass.

Functionality for both every day and every occasion

• Easy to edit text, such as names in the household
• Set up temporary messages – for example «Be right back» or for welcoming dinner guests.
• (later TBA) Themes for special occasions, pre-made text snippets and more.
