Meet Octavio, an octopus with eight curling arms and a whole lot of personality. Folded from washable paper fabric into a low-poly origami shape, he brings a piece of the deep sea into a room and holds attention the moment you look up.

What makes it special

Octavio arrives fully assembled and ready to hang, with no crafting required. He is expertly handcrafted from washable paper fabric, folded with interlocking tabs and not a drop of glue. Lit, he glows softly from within, so the whole octopus takes on a warm glow as a sculptural centerpiece. He is at home over a crib, a playroom, or a reading corner, and works just as well as a whimsical accent in a bathroom, a hallway, or a home office.

Good to know

• Dimensions: 25 cm wide by 30 cm deep by 43 cm high.
• Ready to hang: arrives fully assembled, with no crafting or gluing required.
• Material: washable paper fabric, a tear-resistant, vegan, paper-like fabric that keeps its shape and will not crease, tear, or sag the way ordinary paper does, and wipes clean under water.
• Handcrafted without glue: folded and held together entirely with interlocking tabs, with no glue or tape anywhere.
• Handcrafted design: an original, 100% human-designed piece, with no AI at any step of the design.
• Lighting: the lamp clips onto any standard E27, E26 or E14 fitting in two clicks, no tools needed. An optional cord set is available with the socket, an inline switch, an EU plug, a ceiling hook and a wall plug, so it hangs where you want it and the cable runs to the nearest wall socket. LED bulbs only, bulb not included. It cannot sit flush to the ceiling: allow at least 20 cm of cord below it.

Whether he is the centerpiece of a child's room or a playful gift for someone who loves the ocean, Octavio brings a bit of underwater wonder to any ceiling he hangs from. Octavio started as a line drawing, and that study is March in Before the Fold, printed as one of our wall calendars for 2027.
