PLATFORMS. PEOPLE. PLAY.

  

 

HENGE is the premier producer of concrete tennis tables in the world.


It is a thing of beauty. 


It is playable art. A hand-polished spot to meet someone you love. Built to last decades. Speaks to the architecture and landscape design in the park, campus, backyard, corporate vista or condominium plaza.

"That's why the Tompkins Square Park Ping-Pong table is so perfect. The table sits near the park's dog run, but its sleek concrete design makes it look like something from Walter Gropius' game room. This is so aesthetically pleasing, it's easy to forget that you can actually play Ping-Pong on it."

  • Olympian Cheers: Sean O’Neill (US Olympic Table Tennis Team member---1988, 1992): 

“Alan, I was very excited to learn that my local park had recently installed two HENGE tables for our community.  As a two-time US Olympian, I am always looking for ways to use our sport to help bring people together.  The placing of these two pieces of “Playable Art” by our library has been a BIG HIT!

"At first I imagined that the ball would slide on the concrete surface and the bounce wouldn’t be all that true.  Boy, was I surprised when my teammate and I were able to execute all the strokes of modern table tennis with the heavy topspins and play from the back court.  I don’t know how you got the surface to be so consistent, but congratulations on the great bounce and outstanding workmanship.  I also work with Oregon Disabled Sports and thanks to this project we now have two permanent tables for our wheelchair players to use!"
