Louis Vuitton have never been known for their restraint, the signature brand canvas repeats their initials over and over again, and many times as the thing it is applied to has inches. There was always however, a certain restraint, which made this less self aggrandising, and more a gentle reminder. You used to be able to identify the counterfeit pieces easily by the lack of this certain something. Now however, Louis Vuitton seems to be taking tips from counterfeit mobile phone case makers in terms of their design cues, as this range of table football, or "foosball" tables look straight out of mid 2000's market stall knock off design.
The table is apparently an extension of their made-to-order games selection, and we do see the inherent quality which is a given with LV pieces, however, the vulgarity of these is undeniable. Whether or not this is a desperate attempt to create flagship "look-at-me" pieces in difficult times, or they really think £65,000 to £90,000 ugly foosball tables are a must have is hard to say. What ever the case, they exist. And if you disagree with our opinions, do please indulge yourself.
