About The Entry

ENTRY — Wet-Dry Threshold System is a compact home entryway product concept that organizes the first moments of coming home. Designed for compact urban apartments, it combines umbrella placement, water collection, footwear storage, and a top catch-all tray into one vertical threshold object.

Instead of treating the entrance as a cluttered storage corner, ENTRY reframes it as a wet-dry transition between outside and inside. A guided umbrella zone gives wet items a clear position, while a concealed removable tray localizes moisture and separates it from shoes and walking surfaces. Tiered platforms lift footwear from the floor, and the upper tray provides a quick landing place for keys and daily carry items.

With a calm white structure, rounded geometry, and a reduced footprint, ENTRY transforms arrival from clutter into ritual.
