This luxe foosball table deserves a space in your lounge

Let’s face it. As fun as it sounds to play ping pong or foosball in your living room, most gaming tables are a touch too gauche for contemporary minimalist or Nordic sensibilities. Which is why we think these handcrafted luxury gaming tables by Milanese designer brand Impatia might be worth your attention.

Their latest and greatest is one for the football fans: a fully-customisable, glass-topped foosball table which they’ve dubbed the Derby Canvas. Canvas, because the US$15,000 (S$20,450) table is designed to be a veritable tabula rasa for potential owners, who are free to personalise the finer details to their heart’s content.

These include the hues and finishings on the various components of the Derby Canvas foosball table – like the lacquered solid wood structure propping up the high-clarity, low-iron glass playing field, anodized aluminium players and leather-bound goalposts – available in chrome, obsidian, ochre, mahogany and more.

If foosball isn’t up your alley, Impatia has a couple of other luxury gaming tables to choose from, such as the brand’s first product, Filotto, a glass-edged pro billiard table on a base of Italian slate. Leather pockets, chrome connecting joints and industry-standard Simonis cloth finish round out the luxury furnishing. And for an extra dash of panache, opt for the fancier version with an ensemble of 24K gold-plated components.

For ping pong aficionados, there’s the Lungolinea, which also features glass as the table base. The net and supporting legs, likewise, come in customisable shades and materials. Whatever you’re getting, expect a high level of attention to detail and quality, as each table is made-to-order entirely in Italy. Happy playing.
