This sticky note tray turns a simple desk essential into a standout piece with a portal-inspired design. The base neatly holds standard sticky notes while keeping them easy to grab, and the raised frame adds a clean visual boundary. It’s a practical addition to any workspace that also adds personality.

The circular gate element gives the impression of a sci-fi portal opening right on your desk, transforming everyday notes into something a bit more fun. Designed in two separate parts, the base and the gate allow for easy multi-color printing, making it simple to highlight the portal details and create a more striking final look.

This design is also part of a personal challenge I’m doing for the year 2026: designing and releasing a brand new 3D printable model every single day for an entire year. Each design will explore a different idea—some practical, some playful, some reflective. If you enjoy following creative processes, testing new designs, or simply watching ideas turn into physical objects, feel free to follow along and join me on this 365-day journey.
