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 peril"

Sky blue and clouds, a late-afternoon atmosphere. The message plays at being threatening for laughs, which makes it far more effective than an authoritarian sign: children and adults alike understand immediately, and no one takes offence. 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 becomes accessible again. It is a detail that matters in a home where several people live together: no need to open the door a crack to check whether someone is still sleeping.

Why the two sides complement each other

The combination tells a little story, from sleep to the return of good humour. The door does not display a permanent instruction — it follows the rhythm of the room. And the shift from blue to yellow is noticeable at a glance from the end of the corridor, even before reading the text.

Format and material

The round 72 mm opening slips around the handle without force, which matters when you come to turn the sign over next to a sleeping person. The rigid card, at most 0.5 mm thick, makes no plastic noise, and the 140 × 275 mm dimensions keep the message readable from the other end of the corridor.

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