Scale Doormat

Oh dear Christmas is over and all those chocs and mince pies have gone. That extra helping of Christmas pudding has really taken its toll on your waistline. Well the New Year is here and the inevitable “I must loose weight” resolution is upon us.

The Doormat scale is a good way to force you to check your weight on a daily basis, since you’ll have to weigh yourself every time you enter or leave the house.  The Doormat Scale will become your best ally when it comes to losing weight.

Also, you’ll finally know how much your guests weigh: including your friends, your mum, your dog, your sexy next-door neighbour, your chubby friend, your skinny friend, Jehovah’s witnesses, etc. The Doormat Scale is sure to become a daily source of guaranteed fun. It’ll give you a laugh and provide the perfect excuse to start a fun conversation.

The Doormat Scale was designed exclusively for Curiosite by Emilio Alarcón, a Spanish designer with wide-ranging experience. Emilio himself explains: “I realized that weight had become a social taboo. No one talks about how much we weigh or don’t weigh, it’s almost like talking about money, no one talks about how much money the make. I’d also been thinking that people were becoming a bit too boring lately. We seem to find it hard to start conversations, even with people who come knocking on our doors. The Doormat Scale is my small own contribution to trying to solve these two day-to-day problems for the First World.
