DREIECK DESIGN · MADE IN GERMANY SINCE 1984

Glass console tables with room for your everyday life

A console table can give an entryway a place for keys, finish the wall behind a sofa or hold a few carefully chosen objects. Its proportions matter as much as its appearance. A slim glass console keeps the surrounding space in view; a drawer or lower shelf adds a different kind of usefulness.

Explore German-made glass console tables by DREIECK DESIGN, from an all-glass form to designs with stainless steel and floating wood drawers. The collection also includes larger drawer furniture for rooms that need more closed storage. We can adapt a design to your space or work with you on an original piece.

THE COLLECTION · CHOOSING BY FUNCTION

Six approaches to a glass console

Choose by placement and storage before choosing the finish. The collection includes freestanding and wall-mounted designs; they need different measurements and installation plans.

A DRAWER THAT APPEARS TO FLOAT

FLY

FLY combines transparent glass supports with a drawer element in wood or a lacquered finish. It gives everyday items a place out of sight while keeping the supporting structure visually light.

A SLIM WALL-MOUNTED SOLUTION

L-SOFT

L SOFT is fixed to the wall rather than standing independently on the floor. The standard depth is 24 cm. Check the wall and mounting requirements before choosing its position.

SIZE & EVERYDAY USE

A narrow glass console for the entryway

Start with the route through the room. Measure the clear space with the front door, nearby doors and drawers open. Baseboards and uneven walls can also affect the usable depth. A hallway table should leave you room to pass with bags, a coat or another person.

The useful measurement is the passage left after the furniture is in place. A shallow top may be enough for a tray and a small lamp. If you need a substantial bowl, a lamp base or storage below, measure those items too. A very slim console cannot replace a deeper piece simply because its top is the same width.

Compare freestanding BRIDGE with wall-mounted L SOFT if depth is your first concern. One can stand on the floor; the other depends on a suitable wall. Tell us about your available width and depth when discussing a custom hallway console.

Planning tip

Mark the proposed footprint with removable tape. Open every nearby door and try the route you actually take through the space.

FUNCTION & PLANNING

Using a glass console as a sofa table

Behind a sofa, a console can hold a lamp, books or a few objects without creating another opaque block in the room. Check the sofa back, its slope and the space between the sofa and the walking route. The furniture will often be seen from more than one direction.

A freestanding console is the starting point for this position. A wall-mounted design needs a supporting wall and cannot simply be placed behind a sofa in the middle of the room. Consider the rear view, access to a drawer and the power route for a lamp before choosing the design.

Match the arrangement to how you use the sofa. A top directly behind the backrest needs a considered height and stable placement. Leave space for curtains, radiators and objects that project beyond the console. If the dimensions of a collection piece do not work, discuss a custom version with us.

Planning tip

Photograph the sofa from the side and rear. Send its height and the available space behind it so we can discuss the proportions together.

MATERIALS & DETAIL

Floating drawers or more substantial closed storage?

An open console and a drawer console solve different problems. Open shelves keep objects visible and easy to reach. A drawer creates a place for keys, chargers and other small items that you would rather keep out of view. FLY combines this closed storage with transparent glass supports.

For a greater storage requirement, compare the drawer furniture within the collection. FLAIR combines wood drawers with glass sides. FUSION WOOD brings several wood drawers into a glass structure, while LISBOA places a wood chest on a transparent glass base. Their proportions differ from a narrow hallway table.

Plan for the open drawer, not only the closed furniture. Measure the working space in front of the piece and the objects you want to put inside. If you need to store larger items, ask about usable drawer dimensions before selecting an outside width.

Planning tip

Sort the items that need a home into everyday essentials and larger stored objects. That makes the choice between a console drawer and a chest of drawers much clearer.

YOUR ROOM & YOUR ROUTINE

All glass, wood or a metal frame

An all-glass console keeps the structure and its edges visible. Ordinary float glass has a characteristic green tint that is most noticeable at the edges. Optiwhite is low-iron glass with less intrinsic color. It changes the visual effect; it does not by itself mean that the glass is tempered.

Wood adds a different surface, color and feel. Oak and walnut options work differently alongside a pale floor or darker existing furniture. Lacquered finishes offer another route to coordinating a drawer element. Compare the finish offered for each model rather than assuming every material is available on every design.

Stainless steel legs introduce a visible structural detail. A polished finish reflects its surroundings; a brushed finish has a quieter surface. Look at glass, wood and metal together with your floor, lighting and other furniture. A material sample is often more helpful than a color name alone.

Planning tip

Bring photos of the whole room, not just a close-up of one surface. The relationship between floor, wall and furniture often decides which finish feels right.

OPTIONS TO COMPARE

A useful surface, with space around the objects

Choose the purpose of the console before filling the top. In an entryway, a tray, a lamp and a little clear space may be all you need. In a living room, a sculpture or framed work can become the focus. A lower shelf can hold books while the top remains open.

Glass makes what sits beneath and behind the furniture visible too. Consider cables, wall outlets and the lower level as part of the arrangement. Use suitable protective pads beneath objects and make sure an ornament or lamp base sits fully on the intended surface.

A console can sometimes serve a dressing area, but that does not make every console a desk. Check seating clearance, depth and the intended load if you want to sit at it. For daily computer work, compare our glass desks and describe your equipment and seating needs.

Planning tip

Lay out the objects you want to use on a surface of similar dimensions. Leave a deliberate empty area so the console remains useful day to day.

FROM THE FIRST IDEA

A console designed around an awkward space

A short wall, a recessed area or a particular sofa height may call for dimensions outside the offered collection sizes. We can discuss a custom glass console based on a model you like, including its shelves, drawer arrangement and material combination.

An original design is also possible. Describe the piece you have in mind and how it will be used. Glass, solid wood and matching metal components can be planned together. The construction, connections and practical details are reviewed before we agree the specification.

Custom does not have to start with a finished drawing. A few measurements, photos and a sketch are enough for an initial conversation. Bent glass, wall fixing and drawer mechanisms each have their own requirements, which we take into account as the design develops.

Planning tip

Note which dimensions are fixed by the room and which can change. That helps us find a proportion that works without compromising the intended function.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Your planning checklist

  1. Placement: entryway, hallway, living room, behind a sofa or a wall-mounted position.
  2. Clear space: available width and depth, nearby doors, baseboards and the remaining passage.
  3. Storage: an open surface, lower shelf, one drawer or a larger drawer unit.
  4. Materials: float glass or Optiwhite, wood or lacquer, and the chosen metal finish.
  5. Daily use: object bases, drawer access, lamp cables and any seating requirement.
  6. Custom brief: room photos, measurements with units and the items the furniture should hold.

Planning in inches? Product dimensions are shown in centimeters. One inch is 2.54 cm. Send us your original measurements and units when discussing a custom piece so we can agree the dimensions precisely.

Care, surfaces and everyday use

Dust or loose grit should be removed before wiping a glass surface. Use clean, soft cloths and products suited to the selected finish. Avoid abrasive pads, rough object bases and standing moisture around connections. Suitable pads help protect shelves from the feet of ornaments or equipment.

Clear glass, satin finishes, lacquer, wood and metal can require different care. Follow the instructions for your particular piece. Our glass cleaning guide provides further advice, and the Optiwhite guide explains how low-iron glass differs in appearance from ordinary float glass.

Plan the finished construction around its actual use. Glass thickness alone is not a load rating for a shelf or an assembled piece. Tell us about heavy collections, unusually large equipment or a particular placement before ordering so the chosen configuration can be checked.

YOUR SPACE · YOUR MATERIALS · YOUR IDEAS

Custom furniture, including your own design

DREIECK DESIGN has developed and manufactured furniture in Germany since 1984. You can ask us to adapt a collection piece or discuss an original furniture design. Custom work can combine glass, solid wood and matching metal parts, with dimensions, colors and finishes agreed for the project.

For a custom console, tell us about the placement, the desired top height and how much storage you need. We can discuss shelves, floating drawers and combinations of glass, wood and metal. Wall-mounted and bent-glass designs are reviewed around their specific construction requirements.

A sketch, photos and a description of how the furniture will be used are enough to start a conversation. We work through the construction and details with you before preparing an offer for the agreed specification. Explore custom-made furniture or contact our team with your ideas.
