Philippi Hamburger Stopper – Metal Door Stop 1.4 kg
Philippi Hamburger Stopper – Heavy Metal Door Wedge Inspired by Hamburg Port Moorings
The Philippi Hamburger Stopper is a functional and characterful door wedge, crafted in heavy metal weighing 1,400 grammes (rope included). It holds doors and windows open without any structural fastening — no drilling, no wall damage — and captures the iconic imagery of Hamburg's port moorings in a contemporary design object. Available in polished nickel silver or matte grey zinc, it complements entrances, studies, hallways and quality contract spaces.
German maritime design with historic roots
Hamburg's port moorings have symbolised strength, stability and civic identity for centuries. Philippi — a German interior design brand founded in 1979 — has transformed this iconography into a practical and recognisable object, capable of elevating the everyday through thoughtful detail. The 1,400 g mass ensures a secure hold even against significant air currents, without need for permanent installation.
Dual Function: Door Wedge and Protection
In addition to holding doors open securely, the Hamburger Stopper functions as an effective bumper. Its heavy metal structure and robust finishes absorb impact, protecting door frames and walls from dents and scratches. An accessory that combines everyday practicality with space preservation, without aesthetic compromise.
Flexible Placement in Any Space
Unlike traditional door wedges, the Philippi Hamburger Stopper requires no floor or wall fixings. Its mass makes it self-sufficient: it sits freely, moves from room to room, adapts to entrances, studies, hallways, hotel receptions and any space calling for characterful detail without structural intervention. Ideal for rental spaces, offices and contract solutions where flexibility is paramount.
