Wallpaper* Handmade invited L&G Studio to design a bespoke air hockey table based off the theme which focused on food, drinks and entertaining. When Ladies & Gentlemen Studio was asked to design an air hockey concept, their starting point was the image of 12-year-old boys playing furiously in a games arcade. 'How can we turn this into a more elegant game but still keep it fun?' they asked. The answer is a simple yet elegant design using a sophisticated material pallet made from Corian to make the custom table, air hockey p. It combines a minimalist look with a new gaming approach, adding playful obstacles and angular scoring ports. Each obstacle shape can rearranged or stowed away on the side of the table.
The finished piece debuted at HANDMADE Wallpaper* exhibit in Milan during Salone de Mobile show in April of 2015.
