If you thought billiards was just a game, Hermès is here to shatter that notion. The French fashion house has unveiled the 8-foot Off Piste billiard table in its signature English green (“vert anglais”), priced at a jaw-dropping $265,400.
What sets this table apart is its flawless craftsmanship paired with a classic silhouette: matte leather rails, a fully leather-clad body, Taurillon Regate leather pockets, and sculpted lacquered legs. The set also includes four cues, billiard chalk in a leather case, and a Hermès cue cover.
Even the accessories are elevated to design objects: the cue rack is made of bakelite with lacquered finishes and leather accents, while the cues themselves feature polished hornbeam shafts, maple handles wrapped in Taurillon Regate leather, accented with metal rings and precision stitching.
Hermès may not be the only luxury brand in the billiards market, but its execution is unmatched. Louis Vuitton offers a more minimalist table at a fraction of the cost, while Bugatti and IXO have created carbon fiber tables for superyachts with self-leveling gyroscopic systems.
