Well here we are, the 7th and last in our series of skip conversions by London based designer Oliver Bishop-Young.
Over the last 7 weeks, the TopSkips skip hire blog has seen some fascinating adaptations including a skip swimming pool, skate ramp, park and even a home.
But why did Oliver do it?
"My skip conversion work has been exposing the potential left in what people throw into skips and the architectural tool skips provide for claiming space in an urban environment".
A great idea and it's fair to say that Olivers 'blinged up' skip conversions are a fantastic use of a challenging space with this weeks offering most definitely bringing something special to the table!
Over to Oliver: "I was asked to produce a skip conversion for the YCN Live event and found a table tennis table in a skip and simply repositioned it".
Oh Olly, you're too modest. What a cracking idea, I mean I've heard skips can pong, but I didn't know they could ping-pong! It's a great design and as Oliver says:
"It also housed a bat and ball holder that works the same way a shopping trolley does. It requires a pound to use the bats but you get it back when you return the bat, that was designed by Jonathan Attenborough".
Brilliant, once again with a little help from Oliver we see a skip bringing joy to a community, a huge thanks to Oliver for letting us share his work with all of the skip hire industry!
I reckon the photographer, Immo Klink, was paid to distract him
