These days, football stadiums are built to become city landmarks in their own right.

Luckily, the good people of Dutch design firm GRO design set out to design an equally spectacular and memorable foosball table. A team of designers (Graham Hinde, Roland Bird, Roger Swales, Paul-Etienne Mélinge and Frank Heijlighen) put their minds together, and gave us 11.

Wow.

We actually bought a foosball table at our office this very week (true story), but this beauty completely overshadows ours (thx, Lorenzo ;-)
