Each player has their own set of abilities and disabilities, and their own perception of the shape of the table. For example, players in wheelchairs have a limited arm reach, so a ball hitting close to the net is far out of of reach and the table feels much longer. A player who is unable to put weight onto his left foot, when stepping to the left feels that the left side of the table seems to extend further. The PARA PINGPONG TABLE recreates the world of pingpong as seen by such para table tennis players.When viewed from the side, you can see that the base, which has the same proportions as a standard pingpong table, gradually transforms into a unique shape of the tabletop. It is designed to allow for an intuitive visual understanding of the concept that “the shape perceived by each player is different”.The PARA PINGPONG TABLE recreates the world of pingpong as seen by such para table tennis players.When viewed from the side, you can see that the base, which has the same proportions as a standard pingpong table, gradually transforms into a unique shape of the tabletop.

The tabletop is made as flat as possible with minimal curvature, ensuring a uniform bounce along the entire surface.
Stand in front of these tables and experience the challenges the players face as well as the world of para tennis players.
