Turning objects of play into objects of desire.

Good people, easy conversation and a few drinks.

Then the ArtTable comes off the wall.

An instant shift, a different energy.

More movement, more noise, more laughter.

An object of art becomes a moment of play.

And suddenly the night has a new pulse.

We recently threw a party in a friend’s studio to film one of our game nights, to show how an ArtTable quickly turns a gathering into a game.

Thanks to everyone who came, and a special thanks to @marsheen for hosting and making a beautiful film that caught the spirit of it.

Exclusive collection with Kelly Anna.

Only 25 signed, numbered, and authenticated ArtTables and a limited run of ArtNets and ArtBat sets.

Kelly has centred this collection around two figures locked in a game, representing the relationship between competition and connection. Even though they’re technically opponents, their movements are linked—each shot, each return, and each moment of anticipation creates a dialogue between them. The game becomes about engaging with one another, responding, adapting, and pushing each other to perform at their best.

“There is mutual respect, an acknowledgement that both players contribute to the rhythm of the match. Rivalry transforms into a shared experience. I wanted this piece to show that competition is not about division but about coming together in their shared respect for the game.” — Kelly

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | JAMEL ARMAND

A few weeks ago, we were looking through the studio and came across something we’d almost forgotten we had.
One of just five hand-painted ArtNets Jamel created during our exhibition with Gallery Hioco Delany in Antwerp.
Rediscovering it reminded us just how much we enjoyed working with him.
The best collaborations happen when you realise you’re already speaking the same language.
When we asked Jamel how play influences his work, his answer couldn’t have summed up our collaboration better:
“Creating is a form of play. Testing boundaries, trying new moves, letting intuition lead. Without play, art can become too rigid.”
That’s exactly how we think about the objects we make.
Not simply things to look at, but things that invite people in, encourage interaction and bring people together.
As part of the exhibition, Jamel hand-painted just five original ArtNets. Four remain with Gallery Hioco Delany. We’ve kept the fifth in our own collection, and it’s now available.
If you’d like to know more, just send us a DM. by @artof_pingpong

During our conversations with Go, we asked how he felt about these paddles becoming worn through use.

His answer perfectly captured something we both believe.

Good objects are made one decision at a time.

Birch plywood for strength and a beautifully smooth print finish.

Locally sourced walnut for warmth in the hand.

A single smoked oak inlay to subtly tie everything together.

Small details.

Big difference. taken in Chamonix, France by @artof_pingpong

GOOD OBJECTS GET USED.

It took us a little longer than we’d hoped to get these over the line.

Turns out getting the off-white beach tennis balls just right is surprisingly difficult.

Who knew?

But they’re finally here.

Our second annual Beach Paddle Edition features artwork by Australian-Japanese artist Go Suga.

Handcrafted in the French Alps from birch plywood and walnut.

Made to hang on the wall.

Made to leave the house.

Made for long days outside.

Sun. Salt. Sand.

Because the best objects collect stories.

Only 50 sets have been made.

Available now.
