MANTA / billiard table / 2016 / product /
Some items are inherently dominant in the interior, for some items spaces are created specifically.
The billiard table is one of such dominants. The function and image of this object are put at the forefront when creating a billiard room. Designing a billiard room in a modern interior is not an easy task, often due to the fact that there is no worthy protagonist for this scene. As architects and designers, we have faced this problem many times, so we have created our own solution for it. When an architect changes the scale and takes on the creation of an object, an unexpected result is always obtained. In our opinion, success lies in the fact that when developing an item that you have never encountered as a designer, you have no restrictions and doubts. Many billiard companies assured us that nothing would work out for us, and the project could not be implement, but we found like-minded people and implemented this unique project with accuracy and with the highest quality.
Manta is a giant stingray, more like a guest from outer space than an earthly inhabitant. Manta is a table for playing the Russian pyramid, it is a huge, technically complex and verified object. A giant sea stingray, soaring confidently and calmly through the thickness of the ocean, served as the inspiration for our billiard table. The design of the Manta table is our understanding of and inspiration from nature, with its clear, pragmatic yet harmonious forms. At the same time, this design is filled with admiration and dreams of the future, because it is impossible to create a new one ignoring the scientific and technological discoveries that are happening around, the human understanding of the universe and space is wider every day, the goals are farther from the Earth.
Manta is a fusion of a vibrant modern look and a tribute to tradition, as billiards cannot be seen as something completely innovative. In billiards, there are rules and quality criteria that have developed over the centuries, requirements separating real billiards from amateur work similar to a billiard table. Manta fully complies with modern billiard sport standards, the field is made of 45 mm thick ardesite slabs, finished with the highest quality Belgian cloth. The cues and other accessories are made especially for this project in the same design, cues complete the whole look.

Manta billiards is professional 12-foot table for playing the Russian Pyramid. Such a table requires proper care and service, for this we have developed various technical solutions. Removable finishing panels are made to service the pockets and rays of the balls, they are connected through contrasting seams necessary for convenient removal of the panels. Manta billiards have exclusive solutions, all elements are made specifically for our project, these are pockets, ball energy
dampers, and much more. For acoustic comfort, a special finish of the inner parts of the rays for balls is made, clogged balls fall and roll almost silently. Manta Billiards is a collection design item, each table has a relief stone nameplate with the milodamalo logo, an indication of the serial number of a particular copy and the year of its production. Even the cues, bridge sticks and game triangle are made exclusively for Manta billiards and fully match the design of the table.
