GRO & TIM Present Football Table at Milan Design WeekGRO design and TIM model makers, both from Eindhoven, The Netherlands, have teamed up once more to present a self-initiated design project at the Milan Design Week.
For this edition of the Design Week a football table will be presented and will be on show from Tuesday 16th to Monday 21st April at Via Forcella 8, Milan, Italy.
As an object the football table has lacked serious design attention in recent years.
While new football stadiums built in recent years have a strong architectural and sculptural beauty, football tables remain less desirable objects as their cost-drive n appearance no longer fits in with the designed landscape of modern interiors.
"11" breaks with this tradition by creating atmosphere through form, color, material and subtle use of light, bringing a heightened sense of drama and excitement to the game.
The table's flowing lines express the dynamic aspect of football, while reducing unnecessary detail to allow the raw energy of the game to come to the fore.
"For many of us, table football is a game that is close to our hearts, holding cherished memories of our childhood and youth.
Its popularity also reflects the passion and love that millions of people around the world share for 'the beautiful game' of football".
