Roundup: Octopus's Garden
Did you know there are around 300 recognized octopus species? Luckily, there are plenty of octopi in the ocean of interior design to go around, too. The De La Espada Double Octopus Chandelier ($1,995), with its globe body and bulb-tipped legs, is a fabulous example of all of the spirited octopus-motif items I have in store for you.Weird Furniture: Octopus Chair
The Octopus Chair (price unlisted), fashioned from pairs of recycled jeans and polystyrene balls, is a multi-shape beanbag and a cross "between a chair and a lounge sculpture," allowing you "to adapt your seating to your interior." In some cases of weird furniture, I am willing to suspend my inclination towards normalcy in favor of something that is "weird" yet still cool and "artsy." But dear Mr. Octopus, I do not like you, find you cool or artsy, or care that you can transform into multi-shapes.

Love It or Hate It? Neptune Bowl
The Neptune Bowl ($295) is a unique serving piece with an oceanic influence. Designed in nickel plate and stainless steel with decorative octopus legs by Michael Aram, this is a fanciful and fun object, though one that seems like it would be more at home in Jack Sparrow's floating casa than my landlubber one.
