You know, some people take their love of and skill at ping pong very seriously … and it might be fair to say that this particular ping pong table was designed especially for them.

We currently live in a world where, for just about every standard item you can imagine, there is also a luxury version — and yes, that now includes ping pong tables. If, of course, you are willing to spend about fifty five grand on the privilege.

Cumulus Studios, courtesy of Nathalie Karg, and Rirkrit Tiravanija, a designer, are responsible for this shiny, blinging piece of sports equipment. As you may well imagine, it is a limited edition piece of work.

It is so limited, in fact, that in addition to being quite insanely expensive, there will only be ten of them made.
