Plant Stand Octopus

This Plant Stand Octopus is kind of a game changer for anyone looking to bring a bit of that seaside charm home. At 17.5x17.5x4cm, it’s compact yet sturdy, thanks to its cast iron build - we’ve found this one can handle a lot more than you’d think at first glance. And the details? The curled tentacles have that slightly weathered, vintage look that seems to resonate well with the coastal crowd. What’s clever is its versatility - it actually works great as a plant stand or trivet, but it also does double duty as a decorative stepping stone if your customers want to jazz up an outdoor path or entryway. Sometimes these sorts of ocean-inspired designs go too cartoony or themed, but we feel this strikes just the right balance and fits into modern or rustic decor without clashing. We’re seeing customers pair them with cement planters, glass lanterns and even modern pottery to make something eclectic and unique that their friends haven’t seen before. Retailers tell us they’re getting creative with it too - using it in visual merchandising for potted orchids or trailing succulents (tillandisia looks amazing on it too). It’s heavy enough to be useful but not so much that customers will struggle taking it home - and works indoors or outdoors without worrying about quick weathering like lighter metals can do sometimes. It’s uncoated which gives that cool old school texture, but we like how you can lightly sand it or oil the iron if you want a more polished look to upsell customisation options in store. And because they’re stackable, they don’t take up much shelf space in retail stores either.
