football table design by GRO design

GRO design and TIM model makers, both from Eindhoven, The Netherlands, have teamed up once more to present a self-initiated design project - a football table.

As an object the football table has lacked serious design attention in
recent years. While new football stadiums built in recent years have a
strong architectural and sculptural beauty, football tables remain less
desirable objects as their cost-driven appearance no longer fits in with
the designed landscape of modern interiors.

'11' breaks with this tradition by creating atmosphere through form,
colour, material and subtle use of light, bringing a heightened sense of
drama and excitement to the game. The table's flowing lines express the
dynamic aspect of football, while reducing unnecessary detail to allow the
raw energy of the game to come to the fore.

"For many of us, table football is a game that is close to our hearts,
holding cherished memories of our childhood and youth. Its popularity also
reflects the passion and love that millions of people around the world
share for 'the beautiful game' of football"
