Modern Sculptural Octopus Bronze Center or Dining Table, Italy, 1980s
About the Item
This striking and imaginative centerpiece is a sculptural table from Italy, crafted in the 1980s, that beautifully merges artistic expression with functional design. The bronze base is cast as a highly detailed octopus, which supports a thick, circular glass top, creating a bold interplay between form and material.
The octopus is rendered with anatomical precision, its curling tentacles not only providing support for the glass top but also suggesting graceful movement as if captured mid-swim. The base adds depth and texture from solid bronze with a rich verdi gris patina, evoking classical sculpture while maintaining a modern, surrealist spirit.
The circular glass top offers clarity and contrast, allowing the full visual impact of the bronze form to be appreciated from every angle. Whether used as a center table, dining table, or sculptural statement piece, this work embodies the boundary-pushing aesthetic of 1980s Italian design, where functionality meets avant-garde artistry.
This piece is a focal point in contemporary and eclectic interiors and is equally suited for residential or hospitality settings.
