Foosball goes minimalist with "Eleven"

I like foosball. It's the pastime where one can get together with his friends, drink , and play soccer without tripping over the ball.(though people still can get hurt,my left eye can attest to that.) I also like minimalism, and Eleven brings these two together in an amazing way .Hand crafted by GRO design and TIM modeling, because they thought foosball was "lacking serious design attention in recent years", it's just beautiful.
The players are machined in brass and chrome, the table itself is meant to be a bit architectural, like real stadiums, and minimal to not distract from the game. It's on show at the upcoming Milan Design Week, 16th to 21st April, and tsadly it's just a working model. I'd travel to Italy just to play with this. Here's their website for more details.
