Hasta La Ideas

As part of his senior year ID project, Australian Craig Nottage designed a transparent billiards table; now he’s founded his own company in Adelaide, Nottage Design, and made the table a reality. A special combination of glass and resin provide the same resistance you’d get with felt, but are completely transparent; the tubing of the slick ball-return mechanisms are also exposed. At AUS $40,000 it ain’t cheap, but it’s nice to see someone turn a senior project into a reality–and build a company around it.
