Ping Pong From A Doorway
Doors can be fun. No seriously they really can. The Ping Pong Door functions just like any ordinary door except there’s an inner panel that flips down to make a ping pong table. Pop the little plastic net on and get your paddles ready. The only requirements are the adjacent rooms have enough room for you to play in. The only downside is one side of the door looks normal while the other is bright green. Try fitting that into your home decor.
For the handy and crafty, you could probably build this but for the rest of us, the Ping Pong Door goes on sale early next year.

why not show the table closed?
a seriously funky idea. I want one for every room in my house so i can host a tournament. getting a beer could be a problem though if every door has one.
Ping-pong door is the idea of two designers from Germany: foregoing Tobias Fränzel and Martin Lukasczyk. This door was shown on Designboom competition «A door to Paradise» (honorable mention). April, 2005.
I’m surprised Tobias didn’t mention anything about this on his e-mail to me. Boy you sure do know alot.
Very interesting! Please ask Tobias and let us know who is really the author ow this nice idea! If You want I can give a link where I found this info.
tobias fraenzel is the designer, martin lukascyk the one who did the illustration for the competition.
martin and tobias were flatmates in berlin and this idea was developed in one latenight weekend session (also with the help of martin), and guess what: tobias still didn’t pay martin the promised share of the prizemoney!
I love the idea, but where is the handle?
This would be amazing for pong of the beer variety. Sure beats taking the door off the hinges every time!
That is one of the most clever designs I have ever seen.
The door’s awesome, even having one side painted bright green… but you could change that easily enough.
si, la necesito, ni sikiera me gusta el pin pon pero solo la idea de poder jugar cuando quiera ya la hace apetecible. falta saber el precio..
The real problem is how to fix it horizontally balanced without any unstable potential.
Anyway, good for housesport.
