IN THE 80s, PING PONG FOUND ITS WAY INTO GARDENS

Practices evolve and products should evolve along with them. But sometimes it’s innovation that drives changes in how we play. Before Cornilleau democratized outdoor ping pong tables in the late 80s, playing outdoors seemed like a crazy idea. Table tennis was played in garages and game rooms. Today, it’s more common to play ping pong outside than in. Recreational table tennis witnessed a complete revolution once it was no longer limited by space and other restraints, meaning more people than ever could play.

BILLIARDS FREE FROM RESTRAINTS

Now it’s billiards’ turn for a revolution as play goes outdoors with the recent release of the Hyphen, the billiards table truly designed to withstand impacts and the whole range of weather conditions. With its sleek lines, maneuverability and, most importantly, the fact that it can be set up just as well in the house as in the garden, it’s designed to make billiards accessible to new players and offer a unique playing experience out in the open.

CONSTANTLY IMPROVING AS EVER

Innovating also means constantly developing our products toward excellence. To ensure the continuation of this spirit and remain at the forefront, today more than 10% of our employees work on innovation-related projects. And they aren’t the only ones, because to constantly offer better-performing products, there’s only one place to turn: the most demanding of our users, competitive players. Since 1982, Cornilleau has collaborated with the top players in France who, through their expertise, have helped to improve the quality of our products.
