Piet Hein Eek brings us the simplest fussball table today. The Dutch designer who gained notoriety in 1990 with his 'scrap wood cupboards'. He works with found wood and salvaged materials and uses them for intricately patchwork tables, chairs, sofas.

In an innovative touch, Eek used metal figurines as players for this fussball table. He began with the figure, folded like a clothespin, after which the feet, legs, torso, shoulder blades and head automatically followed. The rest of the game was then produced to match in the same rugged steel and functional style.
