The conceptual Octopus Center Table has been designed by Carlos Araújo as a creature-like piece of furniture for the living room that works to create a visual statement in a simple way. The table is constructed with an eight-legged form that is held together with metal joinery and exposes its various components thanks to its see-through glass topper. The table conveys a sense of imaginative playfulness, while also working effectively as a piece of furniture for everyday use to balance function and form.
The conceptual Octopus Center Table maintains a flatpack design thanks to its various components that can all be disconnected from one another. The table is thus capable of being constructed by the consumer upon being brought into the home.
