Laguz Bookend

Laguz is a sculptural cast iron bookend from Nedre Foss, designed by Swiss-French designer Julie Richoz. With its distinctive shape, Laguz combines functional design with a striking aesthetic, making it a decorative object in its own right.

Originally conceived as a bookend, Laguz is also well suited as a substantial, freestanding design object. Its integrated handle evokes traditional weights and highlights the piece's distinctive character.

The design draws inspiration from German Expressionism of the 1920s, with elongated lines and a sculptural form that creates a dynamic sense of movement.

The name Laguz comes from the L-rune of the Elder Futhark, traditionally associated with water, intuition, emotions and the subconscious.
