Gurita Glass Table with Carved Octopus Made of Suar Wood, 100 x 55 cm
Imagine a mysterious creature from the depths of the sea rising in your living area, supporting an elegant glass top – that is exactly what the Gurita Glass Table embodies. The name "Gurita", the Indonesian word for octopus, represents the artfully designed wooden sculpture that gives this extraordinary coffee table its distinctive base. With dimensions of about 100 cm in length, 55 cm in width, and around 50 cm in height, it becomes a fascinating centerpiece in any room.
The detailed octopus sculpture made of Suar wood is hand-carved and impresses with its vivid representation. The curved tentacles appear to hold the oval glass top securely and almost weightlessly. The natural wood grain, as well as the delicate detailing of the suckers and expressive eyes, testify to the highest craftsmanship.
This table is much more than just a piece of furniture – it is a sculpture that honors the beauty and intelligence of the marine creature and is sure to be a conversation starter among your guests. It inspires dreams and invites admiration for the elegance and power of the octopus.
Gurita – Symbol of Intelligence and Mystery of the Eight Arms
In Indonesia, the octopus is called "Gurita" and has always fascinated with its adaptability and cleverness. It is seen as a symbol of flexibility, mystery, and creative problem-solving. Especially in Bali, where the sea holds great cultural significance, these qualities are reflected in the art.
Balinese carving artists masterfully shape the spirit of this fascinating creature from wood. A carved Gurita can be interpreted as a protective symbol or a sign of hidden knowledge and natural power. With this table, you not only bring a piece of maritime fascination into your home but also an appreciation for the patient craftsmanship of Bali.
