# Sea Creature Furniture Isaac Krauss's Octopus Table is Eerily Realistic By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octopus-table References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/awe-inspiring-octopus-table) & [artprize.org](http://www.artprize.org/artists/public-profile/92955) The Octopus Table will make any home look like it was suddenly transported to Davy Jones' Locker. Stunningly realistic, the Octopus Table will surely inspire some very imaginative make-believe sessions for both kids and adults alike. Created by artist Isaac Krauss, the Octopus Table is sculpted out of bronze. Amazingly detailed, it took Krauss two and a half years to complete. Inspired by a failed high school project, the Octopus Table has more than redeemed this artist. As a recent graduate from [School of Art and Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colgio-de-santa-maria) at the [University of Michigan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/research-centre), the Octopus Table will definitely put Isaac Krauss on the map.
