4 Coolest Table Tennis Designs

Table tennis is more than just a paddle and a ball. Playing the sport, which originated in the late 19th century, is an art form on its own. While the rules of the game are relatively easy to understand, the various technique and skills required are challenging.

A ping pong game, however, is incomplete without its table.

Although a simple table with a net is enough to play a decent game, the following artists have taken their table designs to the next level. They transformed the traditional color and design of the table and turned it into something that can be used to suit your home’s interior decorations.

From mahogany to black and white chic, these tables have changed the game of table tennis.
