Bespoke tables with wood & glass

A table incorporating wood need not look like a conventional heavy wooden table. A glass top on wooden legs, a tray within a glass structure or a wooden body below the top combines contrasting qualities. REMUS, TRAY, COPAIN and PURE WOOD offer different starting points. Consider where you want to see and touch wood, and what role it should play.

On a coffee table, wood can define a surface or provide enclosed storage. Glass allows the rug to remain visible and can reduce the visual weight of a larger piece. A tray creates a defined area for smaller objects. For a side table, the wood tone can relate to a chair or flooring, while height and reach remain central to its use.

Bedside furniture often combines drawers with an open surface. The wooden front can coordinate with the bed or wardrobe, while glass keeps the structure light. On a desk, a drawer unit to one side can leave the other area open for seating. Dining and meeting tables require coordinated consideration of spans, leg positions and seating numbers.

Species alone does not describe the finished result. Grain, surface treatment, edges and the combination with glass all influence appearance. Natural variation is part of wood. Where several pieces are grouped together, we discuss a coordinated overall effect. Lacquered components provide another option for matching existing colours and are specified as their own material finish.

For a bespoke size, the top, supports and any drawers are developed together. Describe how you will use the table, what belongs on it and what needs storage below: these details often reveal the most useful adaptations.

Wood introduces warmth and natural grain into a transparent piece. A drawer, tray or distinctive wooden leg can provide a deliberate contrast to glass. Consider the direction and scale of the grain as well as the species. A wide front creates a different effect from several narrow drawers. Existing flooring need not be copied exactly; a carefully chosen contrast can work just as well.

Solid wood, veneered components and lacquered wood-based panels are different specifications. We identify the material for each model and component. Furniture containing wood is not automatically solid wood throughout. Depending on the design, oak, walnut or a coloured lacquered front may be considered. Dimensions, appearance and intended use guide the choice.

Table legs and supports can involve metal, chrome finishes, stainless steel, wood or glass, depending on construction. Polished surfaces create a different effect from brushed stainless steel, while glass supports leave more of the floor visible. Changing materials is also a structural decision: connections, sections and stability are reviewed for the proposed design.

Measure the available width, depth and height. It helps to distinguish between your preferred dimensions and the absolute maximum available. Include skirting boards, radiators, sockets, window ledges and doors. Decide whether cables need to run behind the furniture. A recess may vary in width, so measurements at more than one point can be useful.

The surrounding space matters too. Drawers need opening clearance, display doors need room to swing and dining chairs need space to move. Consider the delivery route, including the entrance, staircase, lift and narrow passages. These details can affect the sensible dimensions or arrangements for assembly at the destination.

Photographs from two directions help us understand the setting. Add object dimensions and weights for shelving and display cabinets, equipment details for media furniture, or seat and armrest heights for tables. Marking a proposed footprint with paper or removable tape can help you compare sizes. Final manufacturing dimensions are then agreed as part of the project.

Our complimentary premium delivery covers Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Liechtenstein. The service includes an agreed delivery appointment, carrying the furniture to its intended position, unpacking, assembly where required and removal of packaging. For large or heavy glass furniture, discussing access early is particularly useful.

Please mention the floor, lift, narrow stairs or unusual access conditions.

For other countries, transport arrangements and charges are discussed individually in the quotation. More distant destinations can involve a longer delivery time. Delivery normally takes approximately 4–6 weeks; the timing for your particular bespoke order is confirmed in your quotation, taking the specification and transport arrangements into account.

Many products are also available from stock in standard versions. If you need furniture sooner, please ask about an available alternative. Stock availability and earlier delivery are checked individually and are not a general promise for every bespoke design.
