'Futbolin' Foosball Game Table in Blended Woods by Hillsideout
About the Item
Alexandre de Fisterra - known as the inventor of the foosball table - was 17 years old (probably the same age as the boys playing in the mountains) when he was severely wounded in one of the bombings of Madrid during the Spanish Civil War. After the bombings, he was transferred to Montserrat and the hermit monks in the ancient monastery situated in the Pyrenees. Back then, the Abbey of Montserrat was seen as a sanctuary of scholars, artists, politicians and students. In Montserrat, he met numerous mutilated children, especially those injured and disabled in the lower limbs. "None of them", Alejandro Finisterre thought, "could play football anymore".
At that point he had a brilliant intuition: starting from the table tennis, he invented the futboli´n, the modern football or foosball table. The invention was registered and patented in January 1937 in Barcelona and to celebrate the 100th birthday of the inventor of foosnall table, Hillsideout has created a majestic and functional art piece made of blended and mixed colorful woods and several metals. The table legs were inspired by rustic table legs used by monks in the medieval ages and the hand carved rounded shapes recalls the mountains near Barcelona where the first prototype was made in 1936. This unique edition looks like a sculpture but works perfectly like a game table.
