History

11 Ravens was established in 2011 by co-founders Michael Zaretsky and Bernard Semerdjian, based in Los Angeles, California.[7] 11 Ravens was conceptualized after a chance meeting between Zaretsky and Semerdjian at Michael’s training center, Gilbert Table Tennis Center. Their shared interest in both ping pong[8] and luxury design was the catalyst for their custom table tennis table collection that evolved into a broader vision, leading to the expansion of their product line to include luxury pool tables, shuffleboards,[9] poker, blackjack, air hockey, football, mahjong, and more.[10] As a multidisciplinary design studio, 11 Ravens boasts a talented team of designers and craftspeople with over forty years of experience. Their expertise lies in producing high-quality, precision-made game tables and furniture.[11] The company strongly emphasizes innovation and meticulous construction, offering personalized design services to cater to its clients’ unique needs and creative visions.[12][13]

The hallmark of 11 Ravens is its commitment to providing a bespoke experience for each patron.[14] Their custom designs can be tailored to a client's specifications, incorporating a wide selection of wood veneers, metal laminates, textiles, finishes, and paint colors.[15][16] Additionally, their tables can be crafted for indoor and outdoor use, utilizing weather-safe materials suitable for al fresco enjoyment.[17] With attention to detail, each piece is handcrafted in their state-of-the-art factory in Anaheim, CA.[18][19]

In December 2022, 11 Ravens announced the introduction of its tequila brand, Ravella.[20][21] This marks the company's inaugural venture into the premium spirits market, signifying the establishment of a new lifestyle brand portfolio.[22] After a successful soft launch in 2022, Ravella made its nationwide debut with its first expression, Ravella Extra Añejo.[23][24]
