The Art of Ping Pong Collaborates with André Saraiva

Exciting New Collaboration

The Art of Ping Pong is thrilled to unveil a new partnership with renowned graphic artist André Saraiva. Known for his innovative foray into graffiti, André distinguished himself by painting characters instead of traditional tags. Rapidly gaining recognition, he became Paris’ most active street artist. This project sees André aligning with Art of Ping Pong’s vision of merging contemporary art with playful elements.

Project Highlights

André’s whimsical figures now adorn collectible ping pong paddles and balls, featuring an exclusive pink ArtNet that is both decorative and functional, ready to convert any space into a ping pong arena. Additionally, the limited edition ArtTable serves dual purposes—it’s not just a part of your art collection but also a wall-mounted ping pong table. Each ArtTable is uniquely crafted in black and pink, numbered, signed, and authenticated in The Art of Ping Pong’s London studio.

The ArtTable – A Unique Masterpiece

More than just a functional item, the ArtTable includes André's signature pink design. It’s a unique collectable that adds a playful touch to your home while transforming into a ping pong table instantly.
