For those of you that have that late night hankering to ping pong. Well, maybe it’s a bit more serious with a price tag like this (a cool $1,900)…

Following up on the success of the very limited (we’re talking 5 for sale) Chalk ping pong table for PUMA, NYC’s aruliden have developed a lighter & less expensive version that will be available exclusively through the Conran Shop.The new design features a black laminate surface for ultimate performance with a white powder coated metal frame, and sports a traditional net (as opposed to the chain-link net that was featured on the Chalk table). via: Arkitip

PUMA will present the works of 7 international filmmakers who created original works as open content to be shown at the World Peace Festival 2011. Curated by PUMA.Creative Chief Curator, Mark Coetzee, and produced by Shooting People, the films run at 30 to 90 seconds a piece, and include 35mm live action, experimental animation and fine art. All films are based on the idea that “peace starts with me”.

PUMA.Peace commissioned these films under an agreement with the artists that they can openly be downloaded and shown, without any fees, in an effort to serve as ongoing tools for peace available for everyone. The filmmakers range from world-renowned award-winning artists, to recent graduates; all were selected for the quality and scope of their work and their sensitivity in interpreting this year’s theme.

I love the juxtaposition of concrete and wood in Nendo’s design for a Puma showroom in Tokyo. The space, Puma House, serves as both showroom and press event center and utilizes timber staircases as displays. It is a great use of interior volumes and successfully balances a range of shapes and textures. (via Dezeen).

PUMA CITY has landed in New York’s South Street Seaport area for the duration of the World Cup. More than just celebrate the beautiful game – offering a unique playing, shopping, and viewing space – PUMA CITY celebrates sustainable architecture. Their mobile structures are built with containers. The result is a mini village of soccer related fun.

PUMA CITY will be bumping through July 11, 2010. Check it out for a chance to experience container architecture first hand if you’ve not yet had the opportunity.

And, why not have a kick about while your there too.

We have reported about this latest Arkitip Issue before and presented you the Arkitip x Ferrari x Puma Driving Gloves a couple of weeks ago. The Issue has now been released.
The cover feature highlights the design, performance and technological competence of the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro F1 Team, focusing mainly on the design of the F1 car.
Arkitip partnered with Puma AG, the team’s official supplier, to create a special custom designed pair of driving gloves as the collector’s item to be distributed in every issue.
In addition to the unique F1 feature, this issue will also celebrate Italian design and art by curating the issue with an all Italian roster of contributing artists. Some of these artists have already graced the pages of Arkitip while others are totally new and undiscovered.
The Issue is limited to 1500 pieces and can now be ordered for 30 USD here.

Arkitip announces their next Issue 42 and once again it sounds very interesting. The 42nd issue comes in collaboration with Ferrari and Puma.  The release will coincide with the Formula 1 Gran Prix in Monza, Italy, also the home of Ferrari.  The issue celebrates Italian art and design and consists of only Italian contributing artists. The official release will take place on the 7th of September at
