The other day I couldn’t help noticing this low-maintenance, virtually indestructible table tennis table along The Goods Line in Sydney’s inner suburb of Ultimo. Now that’s an example of good design thinking. I know this facility is not meant for pro players, but I still would have changed one thing: the colour of the table. Yellow isn’t ideal considering balls are usually white.
I recall in my middle school I spent many hours playing table tennis at equally indestructible tables, though they made of stone instead of metal. And those tables are still there – over 25 years later!
