Der in London lebende israelische Star-Designer entwarf 2008 den "Ping Pong Table" in einer kleinen Auflage von 20 Exemplaren. Er selbst spielt leidenschaftlich gerne Tischtennis und schuf eine Tischtennisplatte nach seinen eigenen Vorstellungen. Obwohl an gewisse Normen gebunden, ist Arads Handschrift bei diesem Objekt durch das auf hochglanzpolierte Material und die seine Umgebung wiederspiegelnde Oberfläche unverkennbar. Zudem ist die Platte natürlich nicht gerade, sondern konkav. Das hat wiederum nicht nur ästhetische Gründe, denn die konkave Platte verändert den Ballsprung und ermöglicht längere Ballwechsel. Arad selbst besitzt ein Exemplar in seinem Studio in London, das von ihm und seinen Mitarbeitern genutzt wird
