Polpo (from Greek polypous ‘of many legs’) is a small table used as a tea table. Constructed of a main circular glass plane placed on top of an aluminium stam, which divides in three feet.

The possibility to rotate the smaller planes allows a flexible, multi-configuration use for the table. The presence of the two smaller planes affixed on top of a rotating Aluminium arm, differentiates and characterizes the two versions of the table.
