A Wooden Paper Holder for Everything You Keep Meaning to Deal With

Every home has The Pile. You know the one. It lives on the counter, it's full of forms you'll "get to," and nobody can say when it started.

We make a wooden paper holder for your wall, and we'll be honest: it won't do your taxes. What it will do is give paper somewhere to live that isn't your countertop, so the things you actually need stay in sight and the rest gets easier to throw out. No clips, no tape, no fiddling. Glass balls and gravity do the holding.

Here's where ours tends to end up.

The kitchen: recipes with a view

Prop up the recipe you're cooking from, at a safe distance from the splashes and at a height you can read with floury hands. Also good: the week's meal plan, and the takeout menu you pretend you don't know by heart.

The front door: mail with a deadline

Anything that needs an answer goes on the bar by the door, where you'll trip over it in a useful way. School forms, appointment cards, the thing you mustn't forget at the pharmacy.

Kids' art: a gallery with a very productive artist

Fridge full? Same. Slide this week's favourite in, slide last week's out, and nobody has to peel off tape or tear a corner. Let the artist pick what stays. It's their show.

The desk or workbench: whatever you're working from

A to-do list, a drawing, a new design, a reference sheet, right where your eyes already are. Maybe that dreaded invoice you've been meaning to pay and keep putting off...

Prints and photos: a gallery you can change on a whim

Rotate prints through one spot and live with them for a while before you decide which ones deserve a frame.

Which size?

The Gravity Bar handles a few sheets or a short row of prints. For a whole wall of kids' art or a long kitchen counter, the Long Gravity Bar is made to order and ships in about three weeks.
