Gonk Doorstop

The Gonk Doorstop draws inspiration from the beloved Norwegian gonk, a quirky figure with a rich cultural history. Gonks first became popular in Norway during the mid-20th century as small, whimsical dolls with oversized hats, often crafted from natural materials like wool, felt, and wood. Traditionally, they were thought to bring luck and cheer to the home, sitting on shelves or mantelpieces as a symbol of comfort and warmth. Our Gonk Doorstop reimagines this charming figure as a practical accessory, combining folklore with function. This handcrafted piece celebrates Norway’s whimsical craft traditions and is perfect for adding personality to your hallway, living room, or study.
