KARMA PING TWINNED WITH SPIN NYC


The Tartan Topspin Terror has just returned from a cultural visit to a snow swept NYC and has done his best to spread the Karma pong gospel to all and sundry.
The Karmarama ping pong word has spread and we have a new "signing": The great Wally Green, the New York underground's self styled "Tiger Woods of Ping Pong". Wally was stoked with his new shirt and promised to do the colours proud on the Pro-Tour.  Wally's a real character and is pretty famous on the pro-circuit, because, well there' not many black hip-hop rap stars on the tour!  Welcome to the team Wally!

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.
