pool and tisch-tennis just got better...



First of all...thats a fully transparent, glass pool table! And because it is covered in some weird patented resin, it plays exactly like traditional felt. So the balls roll the same.

Watch a video about it here.

Its from Australian based Nottage Design, and it was actually a final year project on an industrial design course (I didnt see anything as good as this at uni!?). Its a cool $21,000! More info here.

Secondly...while I was looking at that pool table, I came across this reflective chrome table-tennis table. Made by Cumulus Design for an Rirkrit Tiravanija Exhibition in New York. On the opening night of the exhibition, famous ping-pong players were invited along to play a tournament on the table.
