The Puma chalk table is a handmade ping pong table with a ceramic surface that allows it to function like a chalkboard. That means you can easily keep score when playing games—including games that involve beer. Hell, you can even trash talk your opponent with it. Put it in a college dorm and I guarantee it will be covered with a giant wang inside 5 minutes.
The Puma table isn’t just a concept either. It was unveiled at the Conran Shop today for $3900.
