Double-sided door hanger Nap & Smile

Here, the subject is not work but rest, and the slightly theatrical way in which it is protected.

Side "Nap in progress... Wake at your own risk"

Sky blue with clouds, a late-afternoon feel. The message plays at being threatening in a tongue-in-cheek way, which makes it far more effective than an authoritative sign: children and adults alike understand immediately, and nobody takes it the wrong way. This is the side to display during a baby's nap, a lie-in, recovery after a short night, or a night shift.

Side "Nap over – Smile activated"

Soft yellow and very light green, smiling flowers. Wake-up is announced, the room is accessible again. It's a detail that matters in a home where several people live together: no more need to crack the door open to check whether someone is still asleep.

Why the two sides work together

Together the two sides tell a little story, from sleep to the return of good spirits. The door does not display a permanent instruction — it follows the rhythm of the room. And the shift from blue to yellow is visible at a glance from the end of the hallway, before you've even read the text.

Size and material

The 72 mm round opening slips around the handle without forcing, which matters when you come to flip the sign next to a sleeping person. The rigid card, at most 0.5 mm thick, makes no plastic noise, and the 140 × 275 mm size keeps the message readable from the far end of the hallway.

Key points

• Humorous tone, never authoritative
• Two strongly contrasting dominant colours: status is readable from a distance
• Hangs directly on the door handle
• Original Milla design, printed in France
• Baby shower gift, housewarming present, or a wink to a heavy sleeper
