« A table football is both a beautiful design object and a bit of Art Deco. Plus, customers can play with it. »

Raphaël Mettler has had several lives. Before finishing his economics studies, he created a skateboard equipment distribution company. In 2003, he founded the microbrewery Les trois dames which enjoyed local and international success. At the end of 2020, to everyone's surprise, he stopped brewing to realize his lifelong dream: making high-end artisanal wooden table footballs.

« Table footballs have always been part of my life: I made my first model in 1997. »

In his brewery transformed into a carpentry, Raphaël Mettler has been making table footballs self-taught since 2021. For each of his pieces, all unique, it takes between 150 and 300 hours of meticulous work. Some models feature unusual features such as Saturday Night Fever , inspired by a jukebox, which plays music with each goal conceded.
