PING-PONG Dining Table designed by Hunn Wai. LINK
"PING-PONG Dining table harks back to the origins of table-tennis with its duality of both being a table fit for dining and playing on. What started off as impromptu after-dinner amusement mimicking tennis in an indoor environment for upper-class Victorians became an international phenomenon with rules and standards. This is an official-sized game table with a DuPont Corian surface CNC machine-routed with French Rococo patterns interjected with Ping-pong iconography filled with gold lacquer, supported by stately hand-lathed timber legs. In the middle, a long rectangular vase filled with dainty blossoms does double-duty as a game-net and a table floral arrangement. Reinstating grandeur and pomp with neo-classical inspired embellishments , with a twist in material by using the hi-tech marble-like Corian, the PING-PONG dining table creates a remarkable conceptual and lifestyle statement in the true heart of the home, the dining area."

The best part of this project is the PR images, not the table or concept itself.
What happen to the DESIGN world nowadays?
April fools?!

"April fools?!"
Ahhh, the perennial response when people are challenged with a concept goes beyond consumer products and stereotypical markers as to what constitutes Design.
Design's realm has expanded guys, get with it.
Or you could carry on making "huh? what happened?" remarks.
