The Somani Table, Groundbreaking Design by 11 Ravens
"The Game Hasn't Changed but The Playing Field Has."
A force of nature, the Sonami Table by 11 Ravens, makes a statement with its innovative construction and sleek contours. Its base can be fully integrated with your flooring or stand as a separate, sculptural furniture piece. The Sonami is a truly luxurious design for both residential and commercial interior applications, a functional art form for the everyday available in a variety of game table forms including pool, ping pong, air hockey, foosball and shuffleboard. The tables are completely customizable with a wide selection of high-end finishes, to fit your taste, style and decor.
11 Ravens is known for amazing game tables, and Sonami is not only pushing the boundaries of design, but of what a table is or should be. The Sonami introduces the concept of integrating furniture in a fresh way, presenting a new possibility and advancing the technology of furniture design. For the true Sonami sculpted flooring application, the table needs to be created during the construction of your room’s floor. The design is a very difficult to achieve cantilever, because with pool tables the top surface alone is about 700 lbs, so making it possible for the table to rest firmly on a slim base is an admirable engineering feat.
The name Sonami is a melding of the reference to the tsunami, a powerful series of waves, and the name Sonam, of Indian origin, generally meaning beautiful. Inspired by the magnificence of the great ocean and drawing inspiration from images like “ The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” famous Edo period woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai, and the robust lines of Richard Serra’s massive undulating metal sculptures, works of contemporary creative genius, the Sonami design holds great influence from the world of fine art.
As if molded by the ocean winds themselves, the Sonami Tables inspire with their impactful presence and flawless details. It’s a work of art, a conversation piece, and so much more, redefining the game table industry.
