Daniel Brandt's Portfolio of Custom Pool Tables

Miami-based Daniel Brandt is a strange bird: A former environmental lawyer turned master craftsman, he's renowned for creating out-of-this-world one-off billiards tables. Perhaps most striking is that he's an aesthetic chameleon, with no self-imposed design cues that read consistently from one creation to the next. Instead, Brandt extracts the client's vision, and executes it at a high level.

"As inspiration, we ask our clients a question to which each of them has a different answer. The question is: If you had the opportunity to throw conventional ideas away, and reflect the 'real you' through the design of a room, would you do it? What would it be?"

As a result, Brandt's portfolio is staggering in its range:

Brandt's client list includes the Rolling Stones, the Miami Heat, Al Gore, HBO, Paramount Pictures and more. I'll put it to you this way: When Pininfarina wanted to get into the pool table game, guess who they called? Their collaboration, the Vici, is below.
