The company RS Barcelona has just unveiled its collection of benches for its You and Me ping-pong table and a new football table RS#4Fun for children.
The new benches and ping-pong table’s finishes augment the company’s You and Me collection — a multifunctional, complete set of benches and ping-pong tables, designed by the studio Antoni Pallejà Office (A.P.O). The benches come in various sizes (220, 180, 120cm and a 50-cm high stool), are adaptable for use with any of the three models of table and come with cushions and covers. You and Me has been designed according to the philosophy of RS Barcelona’s Intense Living products — namely to play with it and enjoy it every time it’s used. Benches aside, the You and Me ping-pong table comes with a new finish — walnut — that gives it a touch of elegance and warmth without sacrificing its playfulness.
RS Barcelona has also launched RS#4Fun, created by Rafael Rodriguez, which ties in with its philosophy of promoting play. It reflects a strong belief in authentic, real pastimes — of playing among family members and avoiding excessive dependence on new technology. It’s the first football table that’s height-adjustable: it’s adjustable legs come in three heights, allowing it to adapt to the different heights of its players, aged from six upwards. The piece aims to reclaim the idea of playing with groups of people or with the family. Like all RS Barcelona products, its football table doesn’t stint on good design, perfectly fusing functionality and design. In terms of materials, it combines strong metal with the warmth of wood. Over 10 years ago, Rodriguez designed RS#2, another football table for RS Barcelona and the company’s first product.
