Ping-Pong Dining Table
March 31, 2009 by Gwen
If you love ping pong and you love eating, then you’ll adore this Ping-Pong Dining Table by Hunn Wai.

Hunn Wai has crafted a beautiful, official-sized game table using hi-tech marble-like Corian with gorgeous gold lacquer patterns. The long, rectangular vase filled with delicate flowers serves as both a floral arrangement and the game-net.


Hunn Wai’s inspiration came from the origins of ping pong.
Ping pong started as a fun, after-dinner game for upper-class Victorians in the 1880s. It was a smaller, indoor version of tennis that used everyday objects as the equipment. The game would be played on the dining table with a row of books as the net, a champagne cork or knot of string as the ball, and a racket made from a cigar box lid.
