This set of octopus shaped bookends is both decorative and practical. At a reassuring weight of just over 1.2kg for the pair, the legs of the duo extend far enough to provide support whether using them upright or on their back. Standing at 12cm tall, these book ends are not intrusive in size but big enough to catch the eye of an admirer. Made from solid cast iron, the book ends have a pleasingly vintage appearance and will help bring an aged aesthetic to whichever bookshelf they're used.
