This boldly designed piece is both artful and delicate featuring six dog statues found at the table's base. These dogs are placed on a platform, posing in a circular sequence, each created to mimic the stance of a dominant pack leaders. These sculptural animals are enveloped in a [cylindrical, glass form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-collection-1), making the table's design similar to the concept of an aquarium. The whimsical piece is aesthetically pleasing, with ample table space that makes objects appear to be floating above the [sculptural canines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poodle-armchair).
