— Lovingly packaged in a box that is ideal for gifting
Once, ping pong bats were red and black paddles that rarely left the games cupboard.
Today’s players are looking for something with more personality: objects that reflect their taste and stand proudly in their homes.
We’ve reimagined the bat as a miniature canvas — a playable artwork that’s as fun to rally with as it is to display.
Whether hung on the wall or swung across the table, an ArtBat is both a design statement and a call to play.
Play with personality. Collect with purpose.
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 13 reviews.
I love the fact that they can be displayed on brackets- was a gift for my 17 year old who is ping ping mad. They are beautifully made and look fantastic on the wall in his bedroom! Quirky artwork and really nice to play with too. Easy, fast delivery and they were packaged beautifully, each one came in its own drawstring bag too. Really happy.

I was so impressed with the variety of designs, & opening the very well packed box did not disappoint - the quality & weight of the bats was just right, & they certainly got a lot of admiring comments when I played at our Saturday club. I absolutely love them - they make me smile every time I see them! 😊

Really pleased with these bats. They are for a gift so haven't used them yet, but the quality looks great. They are sold as seconds but I haven't been able to spot the fault on them.

Such clear, good quality! Beautifully presented. Not our first purchase from The Art of PingPong, probably not the last! 10/10!

I received the wonderful paddles today and love them. What a wonderful and clever and beautiful idea and creation they are. Thanks again for being soo great in getting them to me. I know they will be loved and enjoyed. And once I present them in Chicago in a week…i can start thinking about what I would like to buy myself.

We love your Ping Pong bats and balls, so I have bought these as a surprise present for my partner. Do we play? No – but we will! However, what we do appreciate is supporting local businesses and buying something that is lovingly crafted, well designed and fun. I would much rather spend the extra money knowing it’s local and not funding some giant corporate. Your marketing is clever, never too much and thank you for allowing us to buy into something so great.

I just have to tell you that your paddles made a terrific birthday present for an avid player who turned 94—my mom. I am sure this isn’t your expected target audience, but I took them with me last week when I visited her in Chicago. She was thrilled.

Ein hübscher Schläger, als Geschenk gekauft , leider ohne den Ball geliefert. Und mir war nicht klar, dass ich bei Abholung auf der Post noch einmal fast 20 Euro Zoll zahlen muss. Schön aber zu teuer.

Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback — it’s really appreciated. We’re sorry for the disappointment; we know the customs process from the UK hasn’t been great since Brexit. We’re working on a solution where all taxes are paid upfront, so there are no surprises. We also understand the image with the ball may have caused some confusion and will look into improving that.
Our exclusive collection of designer table tennis bats is not just about the game; it’s a celebration of artistic expression.

Every bat in our collection is a result of meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring not just a stunning appearance but also superb performance.
The premium materials provide durability and a perfect grip, making them ideal for casual and competitive games with friends or family.
We had the pleasure of spending an evening with André whilst photographing his collection at his hotel in Paris. So we asked him a few questions about our collaboration.
AoPP: What inspired you to collaborate with the Art of Ping Pong?
Andre: My good friend Sarah Andelman from the legendary store Colette called me and said that I should collaborate with you. And since I'm a big fan of ping pong, it had to be a yes!
AoPP: The appetite for art collectables is clear, and you’ve been at the forefront of this for sometime. AoPP’s pieces are not only collectibles but also designed to spark connection and play—something the world could use more of right now. You’ve brought your art into hotels and clubs to foster connection, but how does it feel to take this collaboration a step further, into play as well as art?
Andre: For me, art and play are inseparable. Bringing people together in spaces has always been a core part of my work. I think of hotels and clubs as art pieces, just like subways, trains, or walls—they’re all canvases for sharing Mr. A as he travels. That’s at the heart of my graffiti philosophy: whether it’s a train, a t-shirt, or even ping pong balls, it’s all about spreading the idea of my art across the globe.
AoPP: Your Mr. A character has appeared in so many different forms and styles now. Is this the most unique?
Andre: It’s the first time I’ve designed for a ping pong table, which makes this edition truly one of a kind. Working with Art of Ping Pong has given me complete creative freedom—I could explore almost anything I wanted. Their approach is the perfect balance of playfulness and artistry, making them an ideal partner for this collaboration. The result feels like a perfect intersection of art and fun, something that’s both visually striking and made to be enjoyed.
Absolutely! Being a ping pong fanatic, our founder would never have created a bat that compromised the game itself.
All the materials used are of the highest quality, and the carefully screen-printed rubber allows for great playability. Resulting in a great balance of art and table tennis excellence.
We love that people gift our products and have made sure our packaging means you can send it directly to the lucky receiver and not even need to wrap it yourself. We often get emails from customers letting us know how joyful their order is to open.
Each ArtBat or ArtBat set comes in an Art of Ping Pong branded linen bag wrapped in AoPP branded presentation tissue paper.
Being a small team means we are also able to add handwritten notes, so if you would like us to do that for you, please get in touch at marley@theartofpingpong.co.uk
