Posted on 29/07/2022 by Gaurav Sood

Arguably, tables are an integral part of home furnishing. Dining tables, coffee tables, nightstands, low tables, and even work tables; each of them has its own layout, requirement and usefulness. Presenting a modern dimension to the work table, Strol x cloudandco –studios brainchild of designers Yeo Junyoung and Yeongkyu Yoo respectively – have designed a ping pong table that can also facilitate work from home.

Rightfully called the Play Table, it is categorically designed for a home than a recreational space. To ensure it finds a rightful place at home where stylish and contemporary tables rule the roost, the ping pong table does a multipurpose gimmick in a modern design outfit. Kicking back the tradition of a single-purpose table, the Play Table gears up for a game of tennis and in an instant transforms into a work table complete with wireless charging and storage for your stationery and supplies.

At first sight, it’s a simple table. Behind the sliding genius, however, lies an entertainment table. Its top is made from high-density HPL coated solid birch wood while the slides are finished with an intricate 8mm cut of maple. The table legs are made from aluminum with steel castors that make it effortless to move the table, in case you choose to relocate its position.

The interactive table is ready for a ping pong game as soon as a provided magnetic rope net is installed. Post the game, the net is easily removed and along with the rackets and the ball is popped into the storage opened up by sliding apart the two halves of the tabletop. When closed, the table instantly because a space for focus. The surface is provided with a wireless charger and the hidden compartments also stores all the cables, power strip, and still have space for other supplies you’d want to keep safe. Interestingly, when you have co-workers home, you can also sectionalize the table with supplied partitions and your little office table is ready for a work desk for a small team.

Finally, A Bicycle Ping-Pong Table

Posted on 01/06/2022 by hite

I was just thinking the other day how crazy it was that nobody had made a mobile ping-pong table; then today, I wake up and see this: Le vélo table de ping-pong, an art piece constructed by Benedetto Bufalino. It’s a ping-pong table built on a bicycle for ease of movement between games, or DURING games, although you’ll have to play around the bicyclist. Or just try to hit them in the head; it’s really up to you.

You may recall Benedetto’s previous work of turning a bus into a pool, or, if you’re anything like me, you may not even remember what you had for breakfast this morning, or even if you had breakfast this morning. At least I remembered to put pants on today. I’m chalking that up as a win.

Between Forrest Gump’s running ability and ping-pong skills, I would NOT challenge him to a game on this thing. He’d probably run circles around me, both figuratively and literally. I feel like challenging my nephew would be more of a fair contest because he isn’t that coordinated yet and can’t stand for long periods either.

This coworking desk uses an old-fashioned crank to morph into a ping pong table!

Posted on 10/08/2021 by Gaurav Sood

A desk turned into a ping pong table that serves as a coworking setup, bringing a whole new meaning to the work-play environment, enhancing productivity and healthy work culture.

I always love the multifunctional features of a furniture piece. When two ends of life, work, and play meet – it creates a balanced work setup. For example, it’s been many years since I wanted a ping pong table, but the dedicated space required had me hesitating. The OnPlayOff – Coworking Table materializes this balance and turns it into reality. The OnPlayOff is a conference table that lets you brainstorm/ work during the day and becomes your playground for some post office hours fun.

Meet the feature that allows it all – a height-adjustable net that rotates into the table using a crank on one side. The table showcases a very Japandi-inspired, aesthetically pleasing wooden table for the work ambiance. Around four people can work on the table with their laptops without any issues at any given time.

When you need privacy, the net can go beyond its official size and create separation like a divider. So we are talking about three modes here – “On” mode for brainstorming coworking space with no distractions, “Off” mode for a private working ambiance, and “Play” mode for playing uninterrupted games of ping pong.

The idea is an evolution, going beyond our usual means of dumping things off our desk to double as a play table. Although there are more multifunctional conference tables, this one stands out with its wooden frame designed to go with any home interiors or professionals workspaces. The best part of all is a small drawer that holds your paddle and the balls, so no searching all over the office space!

This Ping Pong Table Is Made from Crystal and Gold

Posted on 30/05/2019 by Conner Flynn

Yo, rich people, check it out. This is the Impatia Lungolinea gold edition table tennis table from Turin, Italy based Adriano Design. Isn’t it luxurious? It is made from crystal glass with 24k gold connecting joints and furthermore, made by “expert Italian goldsmiths.” Ohhhhhh, the Goldsmiths of Tuscany? Yeah, they got money.

It looks cool, but wouldn’t the glass table make the ball bounce differently than a wooden surface? Then again, if you have a glass and gold ping pong table you probably care more about impressing other rich folks than you do about your actual game. The table measures 108″ x 60″ x 30″, and weighs in at a substantial 551-pounds. It will cost you $26,000, which is like buying a pack of gum for rich people.

And honestly, I ask you, how many rich people are playing Ping Pong these days? I’m guessing not many. But now they might since they can buy this sweet table. Get ready for the Billionaire Table Tennis League!

So anyway, you wealthy people can now play ping pong and then smash the table with a diamond-encrusted hammer when you lose. That would be the best part of owning this: Watching it shatter into a million pieces as your opponent stares at you in shock.

Ping-pong, all day long!

Posted on 03/11/2017 by Sarang Sheth

We’re a weirdly adorable generation. We eat on the sofa (while watching TV), and we play ping pong on our dinner tables! Pongo may just be the most bachelor-lifestyle-driven innovation ever. An entire ping-pong set that fits into a drawstring bag that you can literally carry in your hand, the Pongo uses any table you may have, be it at the office or at home or even somewhere on holiday, to give you an adrenaline charged game to play with your flatmates, coworkers, or even family!

The Pongo comes with a net that stretches to almost 5 and a half feet in width, allowing you to set your ping-pong game up on tables of varying widths. The posts of the net come with non-slip bases that allow them to be merely placed on tables, rather than having to clip them to the sides. Pongo also comes with nifty paddles that feature collapsible handles that allow the Pongo to occupy a pretty small footprint. Designed to be an all-in-one solution, the Pongo even has a small slot for storing a ping-pong ball, so literally all you need is a table and an opponent… but we’re sure you can find those anywhere!
