Ron Arad New Ping Pong, 2008-2015 Mirror polished stainless steel and patinated bronze
83 x 276 x 150 cm


Table Tennis has been a constant source of entertainment and inspiration for Ron Arad, both as a design object and as a recreational activity.

The concave surface of 'New Ping Pong' (2008-2015) is brilliant example of Arad's design. Polished to a high gloss, the curved table made of stainless-steel, was designed to slow down the pace of the game and make rallies last longer. In this way, a game that normally runs at high speeds is transformed into a relaxed pastime.

"I could not help but wonder what else I could have done do with this magical material. So I thought about doing something that would allow us to enjoy the material in a completely new and different way." – Ron Arad
