These superb gold flash plated doorstops were designed by Tel Aviv designer, Arik Levy for French design company, ENO. These are a lot more upscale than the average door stopper. The limited edition gold bars are only found in the most exclusive design stores in France, Denmark and Japan.
The digits inscribed on each bar (260373) reference the first day "women were allowed to enter the London Stock Exchange in 1973," Conran USA explains. "Arik Levy studied industrial design at the Art Center Europe (Switzerland) and graduated in 1991. He started his own firm, 'L-Design' with Pippo Lionni and is based in Paris."
