Yep, that's more or less exactly what it looks like: the sweetest ping pong table you've ever seen. The "Pingtuated Equilipong" by Akke Functional Art is intended to embody a quantum leap in sport and dining alike with the convertible piece.
Niles Eldredge and Stephen J. Gould's Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium proposes that most species exhibit little evolutionary variation for most of their history until rare and rapid events create significant changes.
The ping pong table has just experienced such a phenomenon. This regulation-size ping pong table (that converts to a dining table by removing the 'net') has revolutionized the traditional form.
Since the photos from ICFF hardly do it justice, designer and principal Axel Yberg was happy to provide hi-res photos of the piece...
The materials, per his description: "Mulberry, Chinese chestnut, black walnut, sycamore, red oak, black locust, cherry, holly, sassafras, and ash, reclaimed plumbing pipes and fittings, glass, mirror, steel, aircraft cable, and Edison reproduction light bulbs."
