The pink pool table has created by Marcel Wanders

Designer Marcel Wanders has created a show stopping pink pool table, covered entirely in Alcantara, right down to the pool cues. He claims he’s always wanted to create his own pool table so when this project presented itself, he took to it like a moth to a flame. First, Alcantara is this innovative material developed for surface covering with an incredible soft texture. Not only is it pleasing to the senses, but it is extremely durable and respectful of the environment. That’s where the Can You Imagine project comes in. It’s a collaboration between Maxxi Museum and Alcantara which invites designers to explore the creative and application possibilities of this material. So far, Alcantara has been used most popularly in car interiors, but we imagine potential applications to be quite vast; furniture, walls and soft furnishings come to mind immediately from an interior design perspective. We are excited to see what they come up with.
