DREIECK DESIGN · MADE IN GERMANY SINCE 1984

A dark surface or a black detail beneath clear glass?

Before choosing a black glass coffee table, decide which part should be black. A dark tabletop creates a continuous surface. A clear top above a black base lets you see the construction and the rug through the glass.

The collection includes different uses of black: the lower glass angle on NUO, a drawer section on THEBEN and the lacquered base beneath TRAY’s wood trays. DAVIS SOLO offers coloured glass versions. Compare the actual finish on each product page.

THREE THINGS TO CHECK

  • Black surface or black detail
  • Lacquered or tinted glass
  • Hidden storage or removable trays

Models to compare

The photographs show particular versions. Choose the dimensions and finish on the product page for the price of your configuration.

NUO clear and black glass coffee table with a stainless steel connection
The upper glass is clear; the lower angle carries the black colour.

NUO: a black layer beneath a clear top

The two glass angles give black a defined place in the design. Choose a square or rectangular footprint and compare the brushed and polished stainless steel connection.

THEBEN: closed storage in the centre

A partly lacquered section conceals the drawer contents beneath the clear tabletop. One- and two-drawer configurations offer different storage layouts.

TRAY: dark glass with a wood tray

The removable trays give drinks and small items a place of their own. Oak and walnut are available, and the castors are concealed by the base. The standard footprint is a comparatively narrow 97.5 × 40 cm.

This photograph includes silk grey and jet black versions.

DAVIS SOLO: a coloured glass surface

Compare the coloured glass version if you want the dark finish across more of the visible glass construction. The selected colour and glass finish determine your table; the photograph shows two different colours.

DAVIS SOLO in silk grey and jet black, with stainless steel bases
Two finishes are shown: silk grey and jet black.

01 · A CLOSER LOOK

Glossy black and matt black in real lighting

Glossy glass reflects the room above it. A matt, satin-finished surface softens those reflections. Try the finish near a window and beside a lit lamp; the same black can look different in those two positions.

For lacquered glass, compare “color” and “velvet color” on the chosen model. A grey-tinted transparent glass is not the same as opaque black lacquer.

02 · A CLOSER LOOK

Using black without filling the whole seating area

A small black element can repeat the colour of a lamp, shelving frame or door handle. A larger opaque surface becomes a more noticeable part of the seating group.

If your sofa and floor are both dark, a lighter rug can make the table outline easier to see. Leave some space between objects on the top so the finish and shape remain visible.

TRAY with a black base and walnut trays
TRAY combines a black base with the warmer grain of walnut.
QUADRO DOUBLE with anthracite grey lower shelves in glossy and matt finishes
These examples show anthracite grey. Select the available black finish separately.

03 · A CLOSER LOOK

A black coffee table with a shelf

QUADRO DOUBLE has a recessed lower glass shelf beneath a clear upper top. Its lower shelf can be configured with a lacquered finish. Check the available colours rather than assuming that every photograph shows black.

The same approach is useful when you want storage without drawers: keep frequently used items below the top and leave a clear area for drinks.

Questions about black glass coffee tables

Open a question for a short answer and a link to the relevant model.

No. NUO has a clear upper glass angle and can be configured with a black lower angle. THEBEN puts the black finish around its drawer section. Choose according to where you want the colour to appear.

DAVIS SOLO offers matt “velvet color” glass options. Check the black colour and surface in its configurator; the photographs on this page include silk grey as well as jet black.

No. Tinted glass can remain transparent, while a lacquered area is opaque. On DAVIS SOLO, compare the selected glass and lacquered finish rather than judging the colour from a photograph alone.

TRAY offers one or two removable trays in oak or walnut. The lacquered base and the tray configuration are selected on the product page.
