Ping Pong Tables With Panache

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hunn Wai's Furniture is for Dining and Gaming

— March 31, 2009 — Art & Design
Your serve! takes on a whole 'nother meaning if you're dealing with the table-tennis/ping pong/dining table. The official-size table has a Corian surface with French tococo patterns in gold lacquer.

Upon looking at this piece, memories of the Beverly Hillbillies fancy eatin' table (the billard table) come flooding back. The divider net doubles as a floral arrangement.

Implications - Most companies might look at something such as a ping pong table and see what it traditionally is, but there is a lot to be said for companies that aren't afraid to turn the tables on traditional expectations altogether. Products like this give consumers the ability to turn their hobbies into luxurious statements as well, and that is something that wealthy customers are sure to be intrigued by.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Gaming Tables - The trend of adding luxury to recreational gaming, providing rich customers with a luxurious statement piece.
2. Multi-purpose Furniture - The trend of furniture that can serve multiple purposes, including gaming tables that can also be used as dining tables
3. Unique Designs on Traditional Objects - The trend of incorporating unique designs into traditional objects, giving customers a luxurious and unique product.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - Opportunity for furniture companies to create multi-purpose tables that serve various functions to cater to all customers' needs.
2. Luxury Goods - The opportunity for luxury brands to add unique, high-end designs to everyday items to cater to wealthy customers looking for luxurious statement pieces.
3. Recreational Goods - Opportunities for recreational gaming brands to create high-quality, luxurious gaming tables that can also serve other purposes, such as dining tables.
