Say hey, your way.

The small details make a home (or office) personal. A beautiful table, a thoughtfully designed lamp, a perfectly balanced color palette. Now, the entrance area receives the same attention. Meet Dory – the world’s first customizable epaper door sign that combines Scandinavian design aesthetics with personal expression.

 

Create and re-create with the app.

With a wide variety of expressive design templates, Dory allows you to welcome guests (and yourself) in style. Easily update the content yourself with the Dory Sign App on both Apple and Android devices.

Interchangeable frames in exclusive materials – from walnut to brushed steel – enable you to tailor the sign to your entrance. With a selection of carefully curated fonts and illustrations from renowned artists, every Dory is unique.

 

Dory loves rain, wind, cold and heat.

Designed to withstand even Norway’s harsh weather with rain, snow, low and high temperatures (IP44 rated). Dory comes with a special battery that allows for up to 1,000 content changes, lasting between 10 and 20 years before replacement. Dory is more than just a beautiful object – it is a sustainable way to express yourself. Built to last for decades with materials that age gracefully.

 

A friendlier world, one door at a time.

At its core, Dory is about making people feel welcome. Whether greeting guests, leaving a note for a delivery, or expressing personality through design, Dory transforms entrances into a space of connection.
