Looking for Ping-Pong Tables?
From sleek metal to welcoming wooden Ping-Pong tables, today’s designers are reimagining the table (and its accompanying accessories) for the chic, modern table tennis player. Find Ping-Pong tables or a range of other vintage, new and antique game tables for your game room or living room on 1stDibs.
Ping-Pong (or table tennis) has come a long way from its inception as an upper-class parlor game in 1880s Victorian England, when it was commonly called whiff waff, flim flam or gossima, and the net was composed of stacks of books. (As befit its high-society origins, a Champagne cork was often used as the ball.) British colonialism in the 20th century helped carry the game across Europe and into Asia, where it remains highly popular.
In modern times, Ping-Pong has probably been most closely associated with the high socks, shorts and bowl cuts of the 1970s. Its breakout year, however, was 1988, when it officially became an Olympic sport.
If Olympic status and worldwide popularity aren’t enough to erase the image of bulky green plywood tables from your mind’s eye, the luxurious examples on 1stDibs — which include designs by James de Wulf, Janne Kyttanen and others — should prove to you that Ping-Pong can be surprisingly high fashion.
Finding the Right Tables for You
The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.
Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.
Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.
Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.
The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte.
Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life.
No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025What professional ping-pong tables are made of differs from piece to piece. However, most tables feature a playing surface crafted out of particleboard, plywood or medium-density fiberboard that bears a laminate finish. Generally, professional ping-pong table surfaces are at least 0.75 inches thick to provide adequate bounce. Explore a selection of ping-pong tables on 1stDibs.
