French luxury billiards manufacturer Billards Bréton has announced that it will begin production of its new limited edition Django pool table in January 2009.  Made to commemorate legendary jazz guitarist Gipsy Django Reinhardt (1910-1953), the retro-styled pool table features cylindrical legs in brightly polished stainless steel, giving it one of the more unique looks we’ve seen in the high-end billiards table market.

Billards Bréton partnered with Buglaria-based UNIK (we laughed too) furniture company on the Django table.  While production doesn’t officially start until January, the first Django billiards table was installed in the new Monaco nightclub Moods.
