Some of our best Pool Table Project Creations
Here at Snooker and Pool Table Company, we're avid believers that pool tables don't have to be simple or plain. Creativity is key when it comes to creating a truly bespoke pool table, and some of our pool table projects have given not only ourselves, but our clients the chance to truly make magic with their tables. We are proud to have been part of some truly impressive and unique pool table projects over the year, from inquisitive styles, to enchanting pieces that really draw the eye. We're thrilled to have the means and expertise to craft truly bespoke tables for our clients from start to finish. Want to know more about our projects and how we can make some truly unique projects happen? Take a look at some of our most out-there designs and how they were made to specification, below. Who said pool has to be limited?
In 2015, we created and released an elliptical pool table on commission for Alex Bellos (mathematician and journalist) creation LOOP. This was a reinvention of the game we know best but played on an elliptical pool table with three colour balls and one white. To win the game, you must pot a colour ball and then the black ball before your competitor. This project was featured in a wide array of online outlets, including Wired Magazine, The Guardian, BBC, London Evening Standard amongst more.
In the late 1990s, we were commissioned to create an Oval Snooker Table as a creation of an art piece called 'Carambole with Pendulum' for artist Gabriel Orozco - a Mexican artist whose work explored drawing, photography, sculpture and installation. This full-sized table with no corners or pockets allowed the regular rules of pool to be thrown out, enabling the reinvention of rules, scores and limits of the game we all know so well.
The Carambole with Pendulum was first presented at a gambling den in London in 1996, before finding its way to be exhibited across the world in the Tate Modern London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Manufactured by us, the Octapool table is an eight sided pool table that includes a cover board that doubles up as a mini casino. A plunge into changing the change of recreational pool, this table allows for multiple games such as American Pool, Octapool, 8 Ball Pool or Black Jack, Poker and Roulette on the outer shell cover.
