Rosa Luxemburg

Rosa Luxemburg (1871–1919) was a Polish-German socialist and anti-war activist. She argued against the centralization of power advocated by Lenin, among others, and defended free thought and democracy as well as women's rights. She was a central figure for the emancipation of women and the working class, refusing to assume a marginalized position within the socialist movement because she was a woman. 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
