Daniel Brandt's Insane Portfolio of Custom Pool Tables
His client list runs from the Rolling Stones to Pininfarina
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.

Almost all of these look like AI renderings. The proportions are all over the place. Some tables are super low, some are super tall. One image has over 20 balls on the table. Another one has the table as long as the pool cue.... one has a shiny surface, I"m sure that's great for pool.
I hate to be that guy but why do so many of these look extremely suspiciously like AI-generated images?
It's kind of embarrassing that we're calling a slew of bad AI images a "portfolio" of pool tables for a master craftsman.... A highschool kid could have created the same images.
These are obviously renders. Most of them don't even look human-made.
So pretty much all AI looking through his IG, at least he tags some of them as AI on his posts though, but kind of pretends like they are real. Not many images of finished pieces on his website either for some reason, maybe client confidentiality, maybe! Seems like the only real ones are a couple of the wooden more realistic designs. Not that they aren't all cool but they aren't a portfolio of his work if AI created them. I especially like the one with the palm tree growing out of the top of another palm tree in the background.
