Ryan Vanderbilt is the Creative Lead at Google Creative Lab. And like most Googlers, he doesn’t spend all his time working. Unlike most Googlers, Ryan built his own awesome desk.

The Table&Tennis is a beautiful, classic hardwood and chrome desk by day, and a beautiful, classic hardwood and chrome ping-pong table by, erm, also day (remember what we said about Googlers not working all the time?). The net slides from a slot within, and the paddles and balls are kept in the kind of slide-out drawer normally seen cosseting grandmother’s silverware. All you need to do is find your laptop somewhere safe to sit while you play.

With some irony, we think that Ryan’s project is a one-off, destined to remain forever in beta, which is a shame. We could certainly do with the exercise here at the Gadget Lab.
