Tranquil Table Tennis

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Gabriel Orozco's Ping Pond Table Has a Watery Center

— January 22, 2012 — Art & Design
Table Tennis can be a very competitive sport, but the Ping Pond Table ensures that heads stay level during recreational games so that it is more enjoyable than unpleasant. It has a unique pond, complete with lily pads, in the center that gives it an overall tranquil aesthetic.

Like the casual Quad Table Tennis Set, the Ping Pond Table accommodates four separate players comfortably. Designed by Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco, it would make a fun and decorative addition to office settings and luxurious homes.

For those who don't like the idea of compromising the competitive aspect of table tennis, the Ping Pond Table adds an interesting component to the game. People have to be extra careful not to let the ping pong ball fall into the water.
Trend Themes
1. Tranquil Table Tennis - Aesthetic ping-pong tables with peaceful and attractive aesthetics are on the rise and could find demand in both residential and commercial settings.
2. Artistic Leisure Furniture - Stylish and artistic game sets are increasingly being used as decorative and functional pieces for homes and offices.
3. Water-incorporated Game Features - Incorporating water features into game furniture has the potential to create an entirely new leisure activity and could take the interest of unique customers.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - Creative and immersive designs may define the trend of fun and aesthetically pleasing furniture for living spaces.
2. Sports and Leisure - The emergence of unique leisure furniture poised to redefine play time may enable this sector to expand.
3. Design - Abstract design and artistic concepts can aid in creating additional value to recreational products by emphasizing their aesthetic and immersive features.
