Interior Design Video Pick: Foosball on Steroids


If you were ever a follower of the TV series Friends, you'll remember the endless games of foosball in Chandler and Joey's apartment - but nothing in that experience prepares you for what a "luxury football table" is like. The 11 football table is beautifully designed, modeled after a sports stadium, and this video shows you the complete game in all its exciting action. This is not your college student's foosball table, by any means, as it sports chromed metal rods/football players, an electronic scoring and goal system, and enough sex appeal to jazz up any man cave, den, media center, great room, or teen bedroom. You know what? It's sculptural enough to be fun in the living room, too (and there are too many living rooms that are boring and have traditional seating arrangements). 

 

 

As the lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I'm fascinated by the current move away from machine-made, mass-produced furniture, more towards bespoke or custom goods - filled with personality like this football table. If you're also interested in design, I encourage you to explore the Sheffield SchoolNew York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planningand Jewelry DesignWith thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

I understand the appeal factor, but who buys such things?

May 14, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSaun Ulric

I dont believe any one will buy it.

I know that this is meant to be luxurious, but how can this thing enhance an apartment's interior design?

I must admit, it's stylish all right. I might fancy having this in my recreational room :)

It certainly looks nice but what is the point? I would feel bad playing with that thing for fear of damaging it..

That is an amazing piece of furniture/gaming item! A far cry from the battered blue and red plastic tables of my mis-spent youth :)

The design is quite, thats what I can say...

Interior design is a wonderful profession and even in difficult economic times you can find a job or open your own business as we have with our Budweiser pool table light business. My partner went to Sheffield and I highly recommend the school.

For our challenging interior design projects we use a vinyl cutter and can really make some custom decorations as taught at Sheffield.

This is my first time i visit here. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! keep up the good work.

Very nice table,but I would use it rather as decoration then to play with my buddies,because they would destroy it in no time.

This table is really cool.It might be good for living room as stated in article,but honestly it would be impossible to place tably like this to some pub,or other place where these tables generate income.Wondering what would be the price for such a beautiful piece of art.
