DREIECK DESIGN · MADE IN GERMANY SINCE 1984
Books, records of a project, favorite photographs and a small collection all ask for different kinds of space. A glass bookshelf leaves the wall behind visible while giving those objects an organized place. Its most useful details are the usable compartments and how comfortably you can reach them.
Explore DREIECK DESIGN glass shelving for living rooms and home offices: rolling BOOKLINE bookshelves, freestanding TOURELLE designs and wall-mounted media storage. We manufacture in Germany and can discuss custom dimensions, colors and arrangements for your room.
THE COLLECTION · CHOOSING BY FUNCTION
Start with what you need to store. A bookcase for large art books and a shallow wall rack for CDs need different shelf heights, depths and supports.
BOOKS, FILES AND MEDIA
BOOKLINE is a rolling glass bookshelf with 33 cm clear compartment height in its standard versions. Different widths and heights, along with optional CD attachments, help organize books, folders and media together.
STRAIGHT, TAPERED AND CORNER FORMS
TOURELLE includes straight, tapering and quarter-circle forms. Compare a single shelving column, several coordinated units or a corner arrangement, checking the usable area on every shelf.
TRANSPARENCY WITH COLORED SHELVES
TOURELLE OFFICE combines clear Optiwhite sides with underside-lacquered glass shelves. Different heights and offered colors give books and objects a distinct framework in a home office or living room.
SHALLOW STORAGE ON THE WALL
The wall-shelf family includes CD and DVD layouts and BOOKLET for CDs, DVDs and paperback books. Stainless steel mounting profiles, shelf divisions and the selected back panel are part of the construction.
SIZE & EVERYDAY USE
Measure a few of your largest books and folders rather than guessing from a standard paperback. Include the covers and enough room above them for your hand. A tall art book can still be unsuitable for a shelf if the usable depth is too small.
BOOKLINE offers 33 cm clear compartment height in its standard versions. This is a helpful starting point for ordinary books and files, but depth, width and the intended load should still be checked. A shelf of heavy books needs assessment as a complete arrangement.
Keep everyday items within comfortable reach. Put frequently used folders and books at a convenient height, with decorative objects or less-used items elsewhere. Small objects can be grouped in suitable containers without losing the openness of the shelving.
Planning tip
Measure the tallest book, deepest book and heaviest planned shelf. Those three checks are more useful than counting volumes alone.
FUNCTION & PLANNING
A wall-mounted glass shelf uses wall space while leaving the floor underneath available. Our media wall-shelf family is organized around particular formats. BOOKLET, for example, is intended for CDs, DVDs and paperback books; it is not automatically the right depth for large art books.
Plan the upper shelf height so you can reach the contents comfortably. If the shelving sits above a sofa, desk or sideboard, include the distance needed for handling media and cleaning. Its position should work with the furniture below rather than simply filling an empty rectangle on the wall.
The wall, fixings and installation must suit the fully loaded shelving. Share the wall construction and intended contents before installation is agreed. For a larger music collection, our CD storage collection provides additional floor-standing and rotating options.
Planning tip
A shallow media shelf can save floor space, but its useful capacity still depends on the formats you intend to store.
MATERIALS & DETAIL
A freestanding glass shelving unit gives direct access from the room. Measure baseboards, outlets and nearby doors as well as the furniture footprint. Several units together need coordinated shelf lines, a suitable overall length and any securing measures required by the chosen design.
TOURELLE quarter-circle versions can serve a corner or finish a larger arrangement. Tapered versions become less deep toward the top, so the usable surface changes by level. Place the largest objects where the appropriate shelf depth is available.
BOOKLINE has wheels for repositioning within the intended handling conditions. Plan for the floor surface, rug edges and thresholds. Before moving a loaded bookcase, follow the model instructions and establish whether it needs to be emptied.
Planning tip
Use the shape of a corner shelf as part of the plan. Its widest outside measurements do not describe every usable level.
YOUR ROOM & YOUR ROUTINE
A clear bookshelf brings the wall, floor and room light into the arrangement. Float glass shows its characteristic tint at the edges; Optiwhite has less inherent color. BOOKLINE and TOURELLE offer glass choices that can be compared on their product pages.
TOURELLE OFFICE uses clear Optiwhite sides with colored shelves. Black, white and other offered finishes create a visible rhythm between the books. Glossy color and matte velvet-color finishes give different effects even in a similar shade.
Remember that the contents will change the appearance. Colored book spines can become the strongest visual element; a few gaps let the transparent structure remain visible. Compare the shelving with both an empty-room photograph and the books you plan to use.
Planning tip
If you want a calm arrangement, group books by a useful category and leave occasional open space instead of filling every surface.
OPTIONS TO COMPARE
Open glass shelving is suited to books and objects you pick up regularly. It makes rearranging easy and keeps the contents directly accessible. It also leaves them exposed to ordinary dust and casual handling.
A closed glass display cabinet serves a different purpose when presentation is more important than frequent access. If you want doors, locks or integrated display lighting, compare the models in our glass display cabinet collection rather than assuming these features come with an open shelf.
The two approaches can work together. Use a bookshelf for the material you handle every day and a cabinet for a selected collection. Coordinating glass finishes and proportions can make them part of one living or working area.
Planning tip
Choose open or closed storage by how you use the contents. Appearance is only one part of that decision.
FROM THE FIRST IDEA
In a home office, shelving should support the work as well as the room. Keep current files easy to retrieve and allow space to open folders or set down a book near the desk. A coordinated glass desk can connect the storage with the working area.
In a living room, think about the view from the sofa and the route around the furniture. A tall shelf can provide structure beside a lower console, while several shorter units may suit a long wall. Avoid choosing the maximum possible height if the upper storage will be hard to use.
For a niche, room divider or unusual mix of books and objects, send us a sketch and the required compartment dimensions. We can discuss a custom arrangement, the intended loads and the appearance from each side.
Planning tip
Sketch the daily route from desk to shelving. Convenient access often matters more than fitting one additional compartment.
The photographs show selected configurations. Open the linked page to see the dimensions, finishes and equipment offered for that design.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
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.
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
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.
A narrow niche, unusual book format or combined display can call for a different shelf arrangement. Tell us the usable dimensions you need, the intended contents and their weights, along with wishes for color, wall mounting or mobility. We work through the full structure before confirming a custom specification.
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.
If you are visiting Germany, our showroom in Hennef near Cologne and Bonn is a place to compare selected furniture and materials and discuss your plans. Visits are by prior appointment only, arranged by email or phone. Tell us which models you would like to see so we can confirm availability.
Choose the offered dimensions and finishes on the product page and order directly in our online store. Customers in the United States and the United Kingdom can also order online. For a custom furniture design, contact us first to agree the specification and receive an individual offer.
A “from” price is the starting price for a model. Size, glass, finishes and equipment determine the price of your chosen configuration. The photographs show particular examples; use the product options to check exactly what is included in your order.
Shipping charges and service depend on the destination. Check our delivery information for your country before ordering. Ask us about the current lead time and share any restricted access, narrow doors, stairs or elevator limits so the delivery can be planned around your address.
GOOD TO KNOW
BOOKLINE is designed for books and folders and offers 33 cm clear compartment height in its standard versions. Check depth, width and intended shelf loads as well. Large art books and very heavy rows need a separate assessment of the chosen version.
Our wall-shelf family includes BOOKLET for CDs, DVDs and paperback books as well as dedicated media layouts. Check the usable compartments against your books. Wall construction, fixings and the fully loaded weight are agreed as part of installation.
TOURELLE OFFICE offers colored glass shelves with clear Optiwhite sides. Black, white and other available shades can be selected in the offered finishes. Compare the current configuration options for glossy and matte surfaces.
The allowable load depends on the particular shelves and construction. Glass thickness alone is not a load rating for an assembled bookcase. Tell us about heavy books or objects so we can review the selected dimensions and load distribution.
TOURELLE includes quarter-circle versions that can serve a corner or finish an arrangement. Measure both wall faces, baseboards and the dimensions of your objects. The usable space must be checked on each level.
BOOKLINE has wheels for repositioning under its specified handling conditions. Follow the model instructions, consider the floor and thresholds, and check whether the bookshelf should be unloaded before moving. Wheels do not make every route suitable for a fully loaded unit.
