MARCO OGGIAN — PLAY COLLECTION
In November 2024, we teamed up with Italian artist and designer Marco Oggian to create the Play Collection — a limited-edition series of colourful ping pong art pieces celebrating creativity in motion.
The collaboration began with a shared idea: to treat everyday life as a creative opportunity. To prioritise encounters with others. To reshape our days into experimental playgrounds — reconnecting with simple, spontaneous forms of happiness through the joy of play.
Marco’s work, with its bold colours, simple shapes, and positive spirit, captured that energy perfectly. His art invites people to look, smile, and think — to see beauty in simplicity and meaning in play. Together, we translated that outlook into tangible, functional artworks: ArtTables, ArtBats, and ArtNets that move between wall and game, design and interaction.
ABOUT MARCO
Born in Venice in 1990 and raised on Lake Maggiore, Marco Oggian now works between Spain and Italy. Using vibrant colour and distilled form, his work turns social commentary into striking visual optimism — a style that’s as direct as it is playful.
Over the years, Marco has collaborated with global names such as Nike, Zara, Apple, Vogue, Samsung, Qeeboo, and Campari, always bringing the same fearless clarity to each project. His belief that creativity should belong to everyone is what connects him so naturally to Art of Ping Pong — where art is made to be lived with, not just looked at.
Marco’s artistic footprint extends far beyond the screen. His work has appeared in more than forty books on design, branding, illustration, and typography, and has been exhibited in galleries from Paris to Tokyo, London to Seoul. Wherever it travels, it carries the same message: colour and simplicity can speak louder than words.
