WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Today’s design-conscious ping pong fans are looking beyond the typical buying considerations and seeking a higher level of design that complements their homes.
“The functional green styles of the past just won’t do for those looking to smash their interiors game,” said Nicky Rampley-Clarke, The Sunday Times.
This new approach breaks free from traditional regulation sizes and standards, and instead benefits from dual functionality.
Our ArtTables are playable, wall-mountable artworks — crafted in small editions.
When they’re not in use, they’re bold, colourful design pieces, and when they’re down, they’re the most fun you can have on four legs.

WHERE ART BECOMES PLAY
ART YOU CAN PLAY
An ArtTable is more than a piece of art — it’s a wall-mountable artwork that transforms into a ping pong table in seconds. Unlike traditional tables, which are bulky, hard to store, and rarely used, an ArtTable keeps the joy of play always within reach. Beautiful enough to display proudly, it brings fun into your home without compromise, a constant reminder to embrace spontaneity and connection. Designed for everyone, it completes your space while inviting moments of delight, making your home truly feel like yours.
A HAND-PERFECTED WORK OF ART
Our ArtTables are designed for art lovers, design aficionados and interior obsessives who value beautifully crafted objects and crave instantaneous moments of joy. Each one is made from premium-grade birch plywood and meticulously hand-finished in our workshop — a balance of design precision, artisanal care and collectable value.
A STRONG FINISH
An ArtTable is not just a beautiful work of art; it’s a source of joy and entertainment. To protect the artwork, each one is carefully hand-sanded and sealed with a clear, hard-wearing varnish, leaving a smooth-to-the-touch surface that preserves both form and function. Every ArtTable is personally signed off and carefully packed by our team — a final touch of human care before it leaves our studio.
UNIQUELY YOURS
Every ArtTable is a collaboration between ink and wood. Printed directly onto birch, the ink seeps into the grain, creating a finish that feels stained into the surface. Each sheet of plywood also carries its own subtle grain patterns and tonal variations, so no two ArtTables are ever the same — each a one-of-a-kind piece of art and play, uniquely yours.
IS IT ART, OR IS IT PLAY?
MEET MARCO
Marco often uses simple shapes and bright colours to promote positive statements, which perfectly aligns with our AoPP ethos. So we asked Marco a few questions to get behind his thinking for this collaboration.
AoPP: What inspired you to collaborate with the Art of Ping Pong?
Marco: I’ve wanted to collaborate with Art of Ping Pong for as long as I can remember—maybe since 2018. I first spotted one of their ArtTables while walking through London—I can’t recall if it was in a shop window or on Instagram—and we kept in touch for years. It’s incredible to finally see this set come to life!
AoPP: Can you talk us through your ideas behind the design?
Marco: It’s a simple expression of home—lamp, lips, eyes, stairs—through geometric forms. ‘We need to play’ is a reminder that, no matter our age, play always matters.
AoPP: It is no secret that the duality of art + play is at the core of everything we do at AoPP. We are motivated by the simple concept that art + play can connect with those around us and how, as modest as that might be, these connections can have a broader positive impact on the world. As an artist, what are your thoughts on the power and influence of art?
Marco: I could spend years trying to answer this question. Art should be the ultimate form of communication, capable of conveying a message that is universally understood across societies. However, the art market reveals how the evolution of investment and speculation has tainted this world, causing an increasing number of artists to drift away from meaningful concepts and messages, instead leaning toward purely decorative works with no deeper purpose.
FAQs
It looks so cool – but can you actually play a good game on it?
Absolutely! Our founder is a ping pong fanatic, so compromising on the game would never have been an option. The enjoyment of the gameplay had to match the quality of the art on the wall. We weren’t interested in creating a novelty product that we would soon become bored of.
Even though smaller than a standard table, they are super fun, competitive and energetic to play with. If you want to see them in action, you can download some videos here –

Does it come ready to use?
Yes – you'll be playing as soon as you take it out of the box!
Each ArtTable comes pre-assembled and ready for instant use with its own solid net, two table tennis bats and four balls.
To hang your ArtTable on the wall, we provide our custom wall bracket that uses a ‘French Cleat’ system to hold it to the wall securely. It must be hung vertically; the French Cleat design will not work horizontally.
Screws and wall plugs are also provided, but as wall materials vary, please make sure you seek advice on suitable screws and wall plugs by contacting your local specialised dealer.
My order is urgent – can you speed up the production?
We absolutely love to find a way to ensure your dream of owning or gifting an ArtTable can come true.
If timing is critical, please do get in touch; we are a small team and, depending on our production timeline, can often improve timing when requested.
Please email marley@theartofpingpong.co.uk to discuss.
