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.

Wow, this is a really interesting piece. I agree that people seem to be trending away from the Ikea-mass-produced style of furniture and more towards bespoke items. That can only be a good thing if it leads to a return to real craftsmanship instead of soulless factory "design".

I gotta say, I don't know if I would dare play it either! But it could definitely make a room look classier. It might even rival custom metal signs for decorating haha!
