To Fuel Dad’s Sporty Side

When the weather is not ideal for outdoor activities but the urge to play persists, bring the pitch indoors with a game that satisfies Dad and the kids alike. Enter the Ghost table by Fas Pendezza, designed by Basaglia + Rota Nodari. More than just a foosball table, it is also a design statement. Crafted with thick, transparent crystal panels atop a sleek conical metal base, this 101kg sculptural piece blends refined aesthetics with the competitive spirit of the foosball many have come to love. Customisable rods (straight or telescopic), polished metal details and adjustable feet ensure precision play, while its clarity and minimalist form make it a standout in any contemporary space.

Once the kids are tucked in, every devoted dad deserves a little “me time” — whether it is with a late-night Netflix session or simply unwinding in peace. Enter the Biboni sofa by Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of Johnston Marklee for Knoll — a sculptural expression of relaxation that brings personality to any space. With its scalloped silhouette and inviting folds, Biboni cradles the body in a gentle yet supportive posture. Crafted in Italy with a wood frame, mixed-density foam and bi-stretch fabric, it is available in two-, three- and four-seater options. Light plays over its form, highlighting its curves and creating depth, giving off the appearance that the sofa appears to float above the floor on discreet inset legs.

The Home-Chef Dad

For the father who finds joy in cooking for his loved ones, the kitchen is his domain. To keep lingering odours at bay, a high-performance hood extraction system is key.

Jolie pairs advanced extraction power with the elegance of finely crafted furniture. It features two integrated storage compartments, customisable back panels and a sleek smoked glass slider.

The Work-From-Home Dad

“Boomerang Desk”, originally designed by Enzo Mari

For the father who works from home, a well-crafted desk is more than furniture — it is the anchor of his productivity. The “Boomerang Desk”, originally designed by Enzo Mari in 2001 and reissued by Wiener GTV for Salone del Mobile 2025, offers a striking blend of sculptural form and functional clarity. Its centrepiece is a curved laminated beech beam — a graceful tribute to the shape of a boomerang — supported by four slender solid-beech legs. Above it rests an extra-clear tempered glass top that mirrors the curvature below, creating a sense of airy lightness and precision. Equal parts design statement and practical workspace, it’s ideal for the design-savvy dad who enjoys the ability to focus in his home office.
