When designing Waldner, I wanted to explore the fusion of a traditional product with the digital. I have been involved in digital creation the last 20 years and the ongoing revolution where the digital world and the physical world is merging together, is the most interesting and inspiring developments together with VR in our branch to date.

Walner consists of an advanced advanced computer system integration. The table has a multi-touch sensible surface, which responds to both motion and lightweight items like a ping-pong ball. The table is equipped with voice recognition that monitors the game as well. That means the table is very intelligent; it sees, feels and hears the game so you can both discuss a ball or argue about a point.

"So what are you waiting for, Roman Abramovich? Quit wasting your money on washed-up strikers, firing managers and ropey haircuts, and invest in this instead."
