Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist and author, as well as the founder of psychoanalysis. He has had a significant role in Western culture during the 20th century, and created the modern view of man and psychotherapy. Today, his theories have been abandoned or replaced, but his teachings still have adherents in academic and cultural fields. This bookend has been part of the series Radical Stands, which came about in a collaboration between TankeKraft förlag and Jan Landqvist. As of May 2022, Radical Stands are part of the Novellix bookend series. Industrial designer Jan Landqvist is responsible for the idea and design of Novellix bookends. The bookends are made in Gnosjö in Småland and are made of cut and bent sheet steel that has been treated with a black, durable powder coating. The dimensions are 15×15 cm for the portraits and 10×15 cm for the base plate. Designer: Landqvist, Jan
