WHERE CAN I GET 50K FROM?


This fucker rocks! Designed by artist Rirkrit Tiravanija for Cumulus Studios, this fully chrome ping pong table costs $50,000 and is only made in editions of 10. It is fully polished and reflective which may or may not affect your gameplay.

I WANT ONE. I NEED ONE. NOW!





How cool is this?
Very cool is the answer.
This is the release that went with the pics.

We no longer work solely in the office, play in the game room, or eat in the dining room. Work, live and play have morphed together. There is a need for furniture to continue being beautiful, but to have multiple functions, and better serve the behaviors of todays world.

Table&Tennis was an idea to merge beautiful design, with a conference / dining table and build it to the official specs of a ping pong table. It’s built so that it can transition simply and instantly between the different uses.

Big thanks to Hong Kong Procurements for building the table, Douglas Ljungkvist for taking these photos and James Cooper for housing the first table in his office at Saatchi and Saatchi.

PING PONG BATS ARE SOOOOO 2009.

Check this shit out!
I watched this and immediately destroyed my old bat. Then i realised we have a game this week and i have no bat, so i have sellotaped the bits of broken bat to either side of my hand. It works. Sort of.
