Designed for modern indoor areas, the Home Shoehorn is a standing piece of furniture that refreshes its usage by facilitating both easy putting on and taking off of shoes, while also indicating its usage through color. It redefines the use of a shoehorn with its curved end, embodying a modern lifestyle through its color indication, universal design, and organic form.






Refreshing Shoehorn’s Usage

Using the Home Shoehorn, user is invited to experience a cleaner, more proper, and more elegant way of shoehorn usage. 

The shape of the end of the shoehorn that touches the shoe has been redesigned to a curve that perfectly fits the out layer of shoe while keeping full confortability of inside usage. 


The shape of the shoehorn’s end also indicates and prompts the user to take off the shoes by shoehorn. This reduces the amount of contact by the user’s hand and shoes, avoids the contact of virus, and hence provides a healthy process of putting on shoes. 

Taking off shoes, using a shoehorn is more proper than using the other foot or shoe to step on the heel of the shoe.






A Guidance For the Audience


The color stands as the guidance of usage where the blue color on the shoehorn’s end gives visual guidance to be place on a shoe perfectly. And the blue on the shoehorn’s base indicates the location of placement.

When the color of orange, blue, and cream white meets the matt finished plastic and its slightly curved form, a sense of modern playfulness is presented.







Universal Convenience


The Slim and elegant shoehorn with 26 inches long length makes it suitable for all usage purposes. It’s universal length will be a great helper to put on and off boots and heavy iron shoes; it is also friendly to people with assisted mobility issues.

Magnets are installed both in the shoehorn and base. User will experience seamless experience when putting the shoehorn back into the base.
