I thought it particularly relevant to post this Ping Pong/Dining table combo seeing as The Pedestrian offices will soon be engaged in the ultimate fight for glory (and possibly an X-Box 360) at a Ping Pong tournament this afternoon. This table is so ingenious it manages (in one piece of furniture) to satisfy my duel basic needs for survival – food and Ping Pong.
Designed by Singaporean Hunn Wai the Ping-Pong dining table harks back to the origins of table-tennis with its duality of both being a table fit for dining and playing on. What started off as impromptu after-dinner amusement mimicking tennis in an indoor environment for upper-class Victorians became an international phenomenon with rules and standards. This is an official-sized game table with a DuPont┢ Corian® surface CNC machine-routed with French Rococo patterns interjected ping-pong iconography filled with gold lacquer, supported by stately hand-lathed timber legs. In the middle, a long rectangular vase filled with dainty blossoms does double-duty as a game-net and a table floral arrangement.
