Sports fans are well catered for by a new hotel design which popped up in China this month — shaped like a ping-pong racket.

The wacky design, which will reportedly be built in the city of Huainan, in East China’s Anhui province, is perfectly modelled on an upside down table tennis racket and is designed to be built in a planned Olympic park.

The detail of the 150-meter design is impressive — even down to the handle at the top (designed for sightseeing) and the rounded windows of the guestrooms which resemble the rubber surface of the racquet.

Studio Aruliden designed this Ping Pong table for Puma with a chalk surface for keeping score, and a level underneath for placing all your items during play.

The table will be for sale at the Conran Shop in New York on June 3. The table will also sell online for $3,900.

The former inventor of table tennis Jaques of Londonhave teamed up with the men’s luxury goods company Dunhill to develop a table tennis kit fit for champions, just in time for the Olympic Games in China.

The table tennis is crafted of solid wood and savors an all-black cellulose and resin bonded surface for a sublime appearance still meeting the international requirements.

To give the set the Dunhill standard masculine lines it features a solid Heist leather cover which stows the professional bats and balls and come in a bag which is also from the Heist collection.

The table is available exclusively by order from Dunhill. Source
