State-of-the-art game table

Hokusai’s The Great Wave may be a famous image, but to the best of our knowledge, it has never served as a template for billiards and poker tables – until now. The curvaceously cantilevered Sonami game table from 11 Ravens rises out of the floor like a particularly shapely wave, lending flair to your foosball match or panache to your ping-pong.

Inspired by the undulating steel sculptures of Richard Serra, as well as by Hokusai, and cleverly engineered to support a 318kg surface atop a slim base, the table can sit on existing flooring as a standalone furniture piece.

For the full sculptural effect, it can also be built into your home during the construction of your floor for a seamlessly contoured installation.

The company was co-founded in 2011 by professional table-tennis player Michael Zaretsky, who also established the Gilbert Table Tennis Center in Los Angeles, and award-winning designer Bernard Semerdjian. Their signature, sleekly designed tables have become fixtures in hotels across the US, and 11 Ravens customers have included Wayne Gretzky and the late Kobe Bryant.

The new Sonami is available in a variety of styles, including pool, table tennis, foosball, blackjack and shuffleboard – or even as a dining table – and is completely customisable, with a wide selection of high-end finishes to fit your taste and decor.
