The game of billiards has always carried an unmistakable sense of occasion. With Plissé, haute couture fashion house ELIE SAAB and luxury Italian design studio Impatia elevate that experience into something altogether extraordinary: a masterful meeting of fashion, architecture, premium craftsmanship, and play.
Unveiled during Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, the ELIE SAAB x Impatia Plissé Luxury Billiard Table represents a natural extension of the ELIE SAAB vision into the world of lifestyle and high-end interiors. More than a professional billiard table, Plissé is conceived as a sculptural object—one designed to inhabit exceptional spaces with the commanding presence of collectible art furniture.
The Haute Couture Vision
Founded in Beirut in 1982, the ELIE SAAB fashion house is internationally recognized for its distinctive expression of elegance, seamlessly weaving together Middle Eastern heritage and European refinement. That exact sensibility extends naturally into the Plissé, where material, proportion, and texture take center stage.
The table carries the creative direction of Elie Saab through a meticulously composed palette of natural stone, hand-tailored leather, architectural glass, and dark metals. Its name, Plissé (French for "pleated"), is beautifully reflected in the rhythmic, ribbed surfaces that wrap the structural frame and its sculptural supports—recalling the fluid movement and texture of haute couture.
A Masterpiece of Exceptional Materials
Plissé thrives on contrast: solidity and transparency, softness and structure, natural irregularity and precise engineering. Dark bronze metal contours define the table's architecture, complemented beautifully by ribbed mirrored bronze glass and finely textured Italian leather.
Above, the rails are finished in extraordinary, hand-selected Brazilian Patagonia stone. Characterized by dramatic crystalline areas, rare mineral formations, and contrasting natural veining, no two slabs are identical. Each precious piece is hand-selected by Elie Saab and transformed in Italy, giving every individual table its own unrepeatable identity. Against the geometric precision of the bronze structure, this unpredictable crystalline stone creates a striking visual tension—nature framed flawlessly by design.
Designed for Elite Play
Despite its breathtaking sculptural presence, Plissé remains an uncompromising, professional-grade billiard table. Beneath its haute couture exterior lies a precision-ground, three-piece Italian slate playing bed paired with premium Iwan Simonis tournament wool cloth and genuine leather pockets. The 8-foot professional format brings authentic playing performance into the world's most considered interior spaces.
Three Curated Expressions
The ELIE SAAB x Impatia Plissé collection is presented in three sophisticated, curated palettes:
- Beige & Olive: Soft, tailored beige leather paired with rich olive green cloth.
- Tobacco & Spruce: Warm, deep brown leather tones offset by a striking deep spruce green cloth.
- Nero & Camel: A dramatic, high-contrast black leather and warm camel cloth composition.
The Art of Living, Reimagined
Plissé represents the evolving philosophy of the modern luxury game room. In the most sophisticated residences, leisure is no longer separated from high interior design. A billiard table can become the defining centerpiece of a great room, private lounge, penthouse, or gallery—an object appreciated as much for its profound craftsmanship as for the competitive experience it hosts. Here, billiards transcends the game to become an integral part of the art of living.
