Carpe Koi: the art of playing in perfect serenity
Pétanque, a gentle escape
In a world that’s always rushing, there are moments we love to savour...
A pétanque court under the plane trees, bursts of laughter, joyful voices, simple and precise gestures. And at the heart of it all: a boule like no other.
Welcome to the Carpe Koi universe, the new Obut triplet designed for those who know that pétanque can be a peaceful pause, a moment to disconnect and simply enjoy.
A boule that invites you to let go
Inspired by the koi carp, a symbol of peace, longevity and serenity in Asian culture — this boule is more than just a game piece. It evokes gently flowing water, soft summer afternoons, and the beauty of simple things.
With its unique design, engraved with an elegant carp in motion, the Carpe Koi triplet invites you to slow down and experience pétanque in a new light.
Why does the Obut Carpe Koi boule embody the serenity of the game?

A timeless moment with the Carpe Koi triplet
By the edge of a quiet lake, three Carpe Koi pétanque boules rest on the weathered wood of a small jetty. In front of them, a blue jack calmly awaits the next throw.
The scene is simple, soothing, yet it says it all: a suspended moment, a pause out of time, a connection to nature… and to oneself.
This is the Carpe Koi spirit: a gentle pétanque, free of pressure, focused on the pure joy of the game.
Obut Loisir Inox Carpe Koi quality: excellence in the service of serene play
At Obut, quality isn’t claimed, it’s felt in your hands.
Our Loisir Inox Carpe Koi triplet is the result of several years of research and a unique expertise, mastered in our factory in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, in the heart of the Loire region. A 100% French-made product, designed to offer a smooth, and simply beautiful, playing experience.
Today, Obut is the only brand in the world to offer leisure boules made entirely of stainless steel.
The stainless steel we use for Carpe Koi, like the entire Loisir range, is carefully selected for its outstanding properties:
- Completely stainless: no risk of rust, even between games
- Natural color preserved, with no surface treatment
- High wear resistance for long-lasting play
- Soft touch and natural grip for smooth, instinctive handling
And because we care about the future, we stopped using chrome treatments in 2016: a cleaner manufacturing process and a zero-waste factory.
Carpe Koi is the perfect blend of technology, French craftsmanship, and a certain vision of the game: free, peaceful, and universal.
A gift full of meaning
For the holidays or a birthday, the Obut Carpe Koi triplet becomes a truly special gift.
Giving this pétanque boule means offering an emotion, a promise of shared moments. And with personalized engraving, you can add a name, a date, a message, details that make the object unique… and unforgettable.
Carpe diem, Carpe Koi
By choosing this model, you’re choosing more than just a leisure triplet.
You’re choosing to slow down, to reconnect, to savour each throw, to turn every game into a timeless moment, and to experience pétanque with softness, meaning, and joy.
