When the table football inspires cabinetmakers, the result is creations like the Louis Philippe and Henry II table football: wooden table footballs from another century!
And among the rare craftsmen capable of creating a vintage table football from an old piece of furniture is Pascal Joulin. This restorer based in Creuse has turned his passion for antique wood into a real business...
A cabinetmaker, a vintage table football, a destiny!
The idea of designing wooden table football in the Louis Philippe style didn't immediately come to Pascal Joulin's mind. A decline in his business forced him to rethink his approach. After meeting a Chamber of Commerce advisor, to whom he presented one of these Louis-style foosball tables, our cabinetmaker had a revelation: he would specialize in vintage solid wood foosball tables. From then on, the Joulin workshop took on a new lease of life...
A high-quality wooden foosball table
For Pascal Joulin, working on poor-quality foosball tables was out of the question! To infuse his creations with a touch of artistic flair, the restorer works exclusively with French manufacturers, Petiot and Sulpie. His greatest pleasure is bringing old foosball tables from the 1950s back to life.
Passion and customer satisfaction above all!
For Pascal Joulin, the absolute priority of a foosball table Louis XIII is pleasure: the pleasure of creating and the pleasure of playing. His greatest pride is a dedication from Julien Lebecq, the 2013 foosball world champion, who greatly appreciated the artist's work (and had even taken the initiative to contact him).
What future for the Henry II and Louis Philippe foosball tables?
As Pascal Joulin himself points out, solid wood foosball tables are a high-end product, reserved for customers with a certain purchasing power. It's a niche market he intends to position himself in. Partnerships with Petiot and Sulpie have already been concluded...
The beginning of a success story?
At Mister Babyfoot, we also love high-quality materials, as evidenced by our range of VAL table football, Spanish table footballs made of solid wood with a very rustic look:
