“We say yes, when others say no. When you build a home, you have have it built to your specs, when you buy jewelry you can design the piece; why is it different with billiard tables? Billiards by Brandt is sponsoring this competition to let the trade, design students and the public at large to design their own table - you tell us what you want and like, rather than us telling you what is available. Why not an aquarium as a base for a billiard table... let’s think differently , and lets have fun!” -Dan Brandt, Artist and Mastercraftsman, Billiards By Brandt, Miami, Fl.

About Billiards By Brandt:
Similar to commissioning artists for their unique abilities, Billiards by Brandt clients can commission Dan for one-of-a-kind pool tables made precisely to their liking and desired specifications. “Billiard tables are not only art, but also can showcase art,” says Dan, and no better illustration of this is the table he produced to exhibit internationally acclaimed artist Walter Gaudnek’s painting “St. Denis and Goya’s Missing Skull” as billiard cloth. He’s also the expert go-to whenever there is a special request. Just ask Linda Hein, SVP of The Parker Company. Whether it is a lacquer white billiard /dining table with matching shuffleboard for a Miami luxury condo, or leisure gaming equipment for use on private islands, she contacted Dan who made it happen on time, and also oversaw the installation.
Billiards by Brandt produces all items cradle to grave under Dan’s direction and supervision, and ensures clients an efficient process by having him as the point of contact in all transactions. Dan helps guide architects, designers, developers and even inspired homeowners towards the table they envision. And once production begins, an open invitation is extended for all clients to tour the workshop and see their tables being made.
