The RS4 Home x HEY foosball table has been designed in collaboration by Verònica Fuerte and Rafael Rodríguez of the HEY Studio and RS Barcelona, respectively, as an artistic take on the game.
The game furniture piece is crafted out of steel and formed using the cataphoretic coating process, while the legs are achieved using iroko wood and the playing field from high-pressure laminate. The various player characters on the field are cast out of aluminum and finished with a micro-textured polyester paint. The handles on the poles also highlight iroko wood.
The RS4 Home x HEY foosball table comes flatpack to allow for easier shipping and can be effortlessly erected from home or an office space. The table is priced at $8,200 and available from the MoMA Design Store.
