POPP's pyramid-structured outdoor ping pong table is suitable for all weathers

the ‘ephemeralist’ is the second product created by ping pong and placemaking company POPP (public outdoor ping pong). meeting a need for a robust and aesthetic table able to survive in any environment, POPP collaborated with designer deni muzaferovic to create an assemblage design that enables versatility of location (and access), utilizes steel for maximum durability, and incorporates a customizable surface treatment to provide a breadth of color and artwork options.

influenced by buckminster fuller’s pyramidal space structure, POPP + deni muzaferovic’s ephemeralist exudes a fortitude of strength whilst remaining ‘light on its feet’. not only is it engineered to withstand the wildest weather and the fiercest rivalries, the table captures an iconic, statuesque life as it waits for the next game. produced in california and western australia, the subtlest of design details intuitively reflect the subtleties of the racquet sport itself.
