Art of Ping Pong and Campbell Hay have collaborated on 8 uniquely designed ping pong tables. Inspired by opposing states, the graphics capture the dynamic nature and signature moves of ping pong. With the use of Instagram filters, the typographic tables are brought to life through animation and augmented reality.

The tables are installed at Islington Square – activating the public space with design and sport. Two of the 8 tables have been permanently installed as part of the public realm, while 6 smaller ‘ArtTables’ are displayed in a gallery setting at Islington Square when not in use. Through vibrant colours, bold and animated typography, the designs express the joy of the game – watch the tables bounce, smash and block.
