Think Bugatti and one’s immediate thought is of fast cars and burning wheels.
Well, one can now also add pool table to that first impression with the latest product from the Atelier in Molsheim.
Released as part of the Bugatti Lifestyle collection, a full-fledged Pool Table is the latest Bugatti plaything, adorned in carbon fibre and built to the matching high standards of the famous model range from the marque. It even comes with a highly advanced gyroscopic self-levelling technology should you want to park it on your yacht – it’ll stabilise even the most hardcore game at the highest of seas.
The technology
Made in partnership with IXO, the world leading designers and specialists of carbon fibre product construction, the Pool Table is an official Bugatti licensed collectible. True to the Bugatti name, many innovative technologies stand it apart from rival products.
The Pool Table comes with an optional servo-driven system that deploys a gyroscopic sensor to level the table even on the most uneven of settings – like on a yacht. Each leg can move to compensate for the movement of a ship while remaining perfectly level so nothing will spoil your game.
Additionally, the system can adjust in as ashort as 5 milliseconds and operates in complete total silence with vibration-free adjustments.
Just like the hyper sports cars made in Molsheim, the Bugatti Pool Table is made of the highest quality materials and even wears the famous Bugatti badge. The carbon fibre finish of the Pool Table represents the sporting nature of the French luxury marque, while the strong frame of the table is underpinned by machined aluminum and titanium. The product meets the standards of a professional tournament pool table.
Unique and limited edition
A unique plate adorns each Bugatti Pool Table, displaying the famous Bugatti logo and the limited-edition number for each product – just like with every hyper sports car receives from the Atelier. The Pool Table is made in a limited run of 30 tables, with five to be made by IXO in 2021.
The sides of the drawers of the Pool Table are manufactured with CNC-machined, brushed and anodized aluminum, complete with the Bugatti logo. Ball pockets made from stainless steel are lined with leather, with fittings complete with titanium screws and nuts to prevent corrosion from aluminum parts.
While the Bugatti Pool Table complements any hyper sports car in a collection, products in a range of official accessories are the perfect match for this sports equipment. The wall cue support is finished in carbon fiber, also featuring a 13-inch, high-resolution touch screen to keep track of scores. The carbon fibre pool cues feature anodised and CNC-machined aluminum ends that are made to the same design of the buttons of Bugatti hyper sports cars.
A dimmable LED ceiling light is also made with carbon fibre, while other official branded Bugatti accessories include a chalk box, finished in black with anodized aluminum, cleaning brush in black, a suitcase made in Bugatti leather to transport the set of Aramith Tournament Pro balls while a USB key, presented also in a CNC-machined aluminium case, includes photos and videos of each table made, so the customer could see the full history of the manufacturing steps of their Pool Table. The box is lined with the same leather used in the construction of the Pool Table.
Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti Automobiles, said: “It is our pleasure to be working with a manufacturing partner that mirrors the qualities of Bugatti. Through our shared values, we can be sure that the Bugatti Pool Table will be made with extremely high quality materials, that the standard of the limited production will be very high, and that the technology used to make the product is advanced. We only choose the best partners to represent our famous Bugatti marque, yet we know that IXO will meet the same benchmarks we expect in the production of hyper sports cars made in our Molsheim Atelier.”
The first official Bugatti Pool Table will be delivered to customers in June and is available to purchase for €250.000, including the accessories.
Pedro Sanchez, General Manager at IXO, said: “When we started developing the Bugatti Pool Table project, we knew we had to be different and excel in all areas in order to be extraordinary. At IXO, good is never enough. We strive for perfection and the goal of ultimate quality in every aspect, and that is a moving target. Whether it is beauty, luxury, elegance, exclusivity or durability, we make sure to raise the bar. All available time, emotion, knowledge and resources have been spent. Nothing has been spared – everything has been ventured and sacrificed – in order to create a being beyond imagination. I truly feel that our creations have soul. We have poured our hearts into them.”
