continuing with the exploration of themes that involve play and familiarity, and following the banana pool table, designer cléon daniel has created the ‘doughnut pool table’, a product that will be on show during the garden of earthly delights, an exhibition that is part of frieze london 2015. cléon daniel’s style or the ‘inventor of uninventions’ pieces have a provoking value that generally cause diverse responses.

completely handmade, the ‘doughnut pool table’ was born from a drawing and was made following the traditional process of any billiard table. commenting on the finishing touches, designer cleon daniel says that, ‘the doughnut had to be pink with wobbly icing and it needed to have a hole in the centre, big enough for someone to play from the inside.’
