Rick Fahmie, award-winning designer and co-founder of Kitchen Expo in La Jolla, has created Lugata, the world’s first patented billiards and table tennis combination table that automatically raises and lowers three inches to keep both game options at regulation height. With a background in high-end cabinetry, Fahmie drew upon his design experience to conceptualize this stunning gaming table, which is as much an original work of art as it is a recreational centerpiece. “I wanted a gaming table in my own home that would represent a high level of sophistication and would be beautiful enough to display in the living and social environment in the house,” Fahmie explains. Lugata is handcrafted with a choice of custom finishes and wood veneers from redwood burl to crotch mahogany, ensuring that it will match and enhance the overall appearance of any living space.
