An ironic interpretation of the traditional ping pong table.
Match is a circular ping pong table designed for Fenix Scenario on the occasion of the "Design Duo Double Feature" project curated by Federica Sala. Its shape ironically alludes to that of a common dining table, with a stylized net in the center created by two sheets of Fenix combined with metal that rise up where they meet, suggesting the idea that after a meal, diners could challenge each other to a game.
When we were involved in this project, the goal was to offer a new vision of this material with multiple properties, and the theme of the curve seemed to us an interesting point of view.
The tabletop, the supporting base, and the paddles are characterized by the alternation of the two colors Bianco Malé and Rosso Namib, which refer to the dualism of function/dysfunction, conviviality/conflict, and formal/informal in a dynamic play of contrasts.
