The meeting/table tennis table.
Ping is a table that gives you energy. Here you can combine effort and relaxation, work and fun. It’s a table that you can use for meeting, eating, reading, playing and sport. Everything. A beautiful slim-line table for exchanging views, or table-tennis shots!
Richard Hutten is internationally famous for his unusual designs. He has this to say about Ping: ‘Thanks to the digital revolution, we are constantly “on”, so it’s important to take the time for relaxation and enjoyment. Ping can be turned into a table tennis table in an instant, for a bit of healthy fun.’
The top is divided into sections with a beautiful walnut inlay, which is handy if you need to seat four and also as lines for the table tennis. There are drawers in the short sides containing two bats and a net.
