Nordic Door Stoppers

The Holdude is Customizable and Also a Bookend and Dice Holder

The 'Holdude' is a manly figurine that functions as a door stopper, bookend and dice holder whose creators are based in Florence, Italy.

Crafted by people with more than 30 years of experience, the Holdude is a device that's made with quality at its forefront. In order to explain the figurine, the company includes a short comic strip that tells the story of man who recently traveled to a new land to find friends. In the middle of explaining his life in the north however, he's interrupted by a small boy and a parrot who insist that he hold a book for them.

The story ends here, and it's assumed that the Holdude has found a purpose in working as a door stopper and more. Consumers can customize the Holdude however they like, be it making him bright green or putting a small sombrero on him.
