We recently received the exciting news that our PROPPR timber toilet foot stools had been selected as a finalist in the Best Bathroom Product category at the Clean + Conscious Awards 2026.
It’s a moment that reflects what we've always believed: that products designed with genuine purpose, thoughtful aesthetics, and real longevity matter.
The Philosophy Behind PROPPR
The PROPPR exists at the intersection of ancient human physiology and modern considered design. We created as a thoughtfully designed alternative to the plastic versions on the market; many of them unattractive, disposable, and fundamentally at odds with the values of people who care about sustainability, their health and their homes.
The design is clean and minimal. Scandinavian in its simplicity. We believe that if a product is going to earn a permanent place in people's homes, it needs to carry both purpose and aesthetic integrity.
Available in two beautiful timber options - Maple and Hickory - each PROPPR is hand-finished and designed to age gracefully over time. And we manufacture locally in both Australia and the US, we can ensure that craftsmanship with every stool.
Built to Last
The PROPPR is designed to be a one-off purchase. Not a disposable product. Not on a replacement cycle. Just a well-crafted object that will last years, if not decades.
With simple care, a PROPPR ages beautifully. In a world of planned obsolescence, this commitment to longevity matters to us. We were honoured with a Good Design Award in 2019 for exactly this philosophy.
What This Recognition Means
Being named a finalist in the Clean + Conscious Awards feels like validation. People genuinely care about products that improve their wellbeing, are thoughtfully designed, and built with real purpose.
It proves something we've always known: conscious design and sustainability doesn't require compromising on beauty or quality.
The Clean + Conscious Awards evaluate products not just on performance, but on health, sustainability, ethics, and social responsibility. For a small, independently-owned, self-funded business like ours, that's exactly the standard we hold ourselves to. And it's exactly why this recognition matters.
Here's to Products Designed with Integrity
Winners will be announced in August 2026. But being recognised as a finalist? That already feels like a win.
It's a reminder that the people who choose PROPPR are supporting a business that believes health and beauty can coexist, that longevity matters, and that conscious design is worth the effort.
Thank you to the Clean + Conscious Awards team and the expert panel for their rigorous assessment. And thank you to everyone who has brought a PROPPR toilet foot stool into their home.
