The classic 'Evolution' table by Sulpie is synonymous with French pride in design, and as the company's been going since 1959 you can rest assured that their tables are built to the highest possible standards. Its enduring popularity over more than fifty years in continental bars and clubs is a testament to its timeless style and lasting quality. As any self respecting foosball player knows, Sulpie tables are quite simply an enduring part of France's cultural heritage.

Still made near the famous French region of Cognac, the Evolution is of solid beech construction, with a strong cabinet that sports a rounded edge to give it a classic look with a retro angle. The telescopic stainless steel bars are outfitted with shock springs and sculpted round handles. The players they support are made of die-cast metal, and can be painted in a selection of team colours. Its bar-room origins are still noticeable, embodied in its built-in ashtrays. The playfield is crafted with sloped corners, preventing the ball from rolling to a stop in a dreaded ‘dead zone’.

Unlike rival tables the Sulpie models are all made in solid beech. The wood used comes from forests managed in an eco-sustainable way, and each piece taken is subjected to a rigorous selection process with specific regard to its grain in order to ensure a consistent finish. Stainless steel has been substituted for chrome throughout the entire production process in order to reduce the company's ecological footprint.

This model is something really special, with a hand painted cabinet created to your own exacting brief. Literally anything is possible, from simple graphics or logos through to highly detailed and meticulously rendered friezes and montages. The only limits are your own imagination and whilst this bespoke model does command a substantial premium, you'll be safe in the knowledge that what you and the artist create together will be unlike anything else, anywhere in the world.  Note: The standard versions of the Evolution,  with their various different trim and varnish options, are listed separately on the site. 

Superbly engineered and a joy to play, a Sulpie table is a quintessentially French cultural icon that will satisfy beginners and purists alike.
