"Made for the kitchen counter that doesn't do boring":

There's something wonderfully unexpected about an octopus on your kitchen table - and that's exactly the point. This trivet was made for the home that doesn't do boring. Cast in aluminium with incredible tentacle detail that catches the light, it does the practical job brilliantly while quietly becoming the most interesting thing in the room.

Rest a hot pan on it, leave it on the worktop, prop it on a shelf - however you use it, people will notice. At £27.50 it also makes a genuinely brilliant gift for anyone who appreciates the thoughtfully unusual. Because the best homes always have a story to tell.
