Glass Tables
DREIECK DESIGN · MADE IN GERMANY SINCE 1984
Designer glass tables for living, dining and working
The right glass table starts with how you use it. A coffee table belongs within reach of the sofa. A side table serves a single seat. A dining table needs room for chairs, and a desk needs space to work comfortably.
DREIECK DESIGN has developed and manufactured furniture in Germany since 1984. Explore glass tables with wood or metal elements, alongside all-glass designs. Choose a category below to see the models, finishes and dimensions, or talk to us about a custom piece.
Find the right type of glass table
Glass coffee tables
A central surface for your seating area. Start with the shape of your sofa and the things you want within reach, then consider a second shelf or other practical features.
Glass side tables
A compact surface beside a sofa or armchair. Side tables, also called end tables, keep a drink, a book or a lamp close to an individual seat.
Glass nightstands
For the bedroom: match the table height to your bed and decide how much space you need for a lamp, everyday essentials and a drawer. These designs also work as bedside tables.
Glass desks
For a home office or a workspace within a living area. Look at usable desktop space, legroom and the position of your monitor, chair and cables.
Glass dining tables
For everyday meals and larger gatherings. Plan the tabletop and base around the number and width of your chairs, with enough room to move behind seated guests.
Which glass table belongs in your living room?
A coffee table provides a shared surface in front of the sofa; a side table brings a smaller surface closer to one seat. A spacious seating area may benefit from both. In a smaller living room, one well-placed table may do everything you need.
Look at the whole arrangement: sofa height, rug, lighting and the route through the room. A designer glass table can make its presence felt through a distinctive base or a precise outline, even when the top is transparent. Compare glass coffee tables for the center of the seating area and side tables for the spaces beside it.
Glass table design: shape, size and room to move
Round, rectangular, square or oval: the shape should suit the room and the way you use it. Round tops avoid projecting corners; rectangular tops often fit longer seating arrangements. A square table can suit an evenly arranged group of seats, while an oval top combines length with a softer outline. Available shapes and sizes vary by model.
Mark out the proposed tabletop on the floor with paper. Check door swings and the space between the table and other furniture. For a dining table, pull the chairs out and check the route behind a seated person. Include the base in your plan: its position affects where feet and chair legs can go. Product dimensions are shown on each model page; we can help with conversions if you are planning in feet and inches.
Clear glass, low-iron Optiwhite or a colored finish?
Clear glass keeps the floor and table base in view. Conventional float glass has a more noticeable green tint, particularly along the edges. Optiwhite low-iron glass has a reduced tint, giving a more neutral appearance when paired with pale wood or light colors. Satin-finished glass diffuses the light and has a different surface character.
Lacquered glass creates a colored surface rather than a fully transparent one. Black and white are useful starting points, but a custom color can connect the table with other pieces in your room. Check the product configurator for standard options, and ask us about other finishes. Colors on a screen can look different in daylight; samples are helpful when matching materials.
All-glass tables, or glass with wood and metal
An all-glass table draws attention to its edges, proportions and construction. Designs made from bent glass can have a continuous outline; other pieces use separate glass surfaces to create shelves or layered forms. Glass with wood introduces visible grain, while metal changes the balance through its color, finish and shape.
Consider the piece from your normal seated position as well as from across the room. A drawer, lower shelf or substantial base changes what you see through a clear tabletop. Models with the same family name can have different dimensions and features across categories, so open the product page for the exact table you need. We can also help coordinate finishes across several pieces.
Think about everyday use and care
Glass is a hard surface, but it can still be scratched or damaged. Avoid dragging rough or heavy objects across the top, and use suitable protection beneath hot dishes. Choose the table for its intended use and check the model-specific guidance on glass type and permitted loads. Thickness alone does not tell you how much a finished table can support.
Follow the care instructions for the actual finish. Clear glass, satin-finished areas, lacquered surfaces, wood and metal may need different treatment. Remove loose grit before wiping and avoid abrasive tools. Our glass cleaning guide explains the basics; contact us if you are unsure about a particular surface.
Your checklist before choosing a table
- Decide on the job. Everyday meals, a surface beside the sofa, a bedside lamp or a full working setup need different kinds of tables.
- Measure the usable space. Include width, depth, height, door openings and the routes around the table.
- Check the base as well as the top. Allow space for chair legs, feet and comfortable access.
- Compare glass and finishes. Look at the configurator and ask about samples or a custom color if you need to match existing furniture.
- Confirm the details. Check the selected dimensions, intended load, custom requirements and delivery access before ordering.
YOUR DIMENSIONS · YOUR MATERIALS · YOUR IDEAS
A custom glass table, made for your space
You may have found a table you like but need a different size, color or combination of materials. Or you may have a design of your own. Our work includes changes to collection pieces and the development of original furniture, with glass, solid wood and matching metal components. We discuss the proportions, construction and practical requirements with you before preparing an offer.
Send us a sketch, approximate dimensions and a few photos of the room. Include the model name if you have one in mind, along with your preferred colors and materials. You do not need a finished technical drawing to start the conversation. Learn more about custom-made furniture or contact our team to discuss your table.
For standard collection pieces, select the available options on the product page and order directly in our online store, including from the United States and the United Kingdom. For a custom design, contact us first to agree the specification and receive an individual offer. See our delivery information for destination-specific shipping, service and charges.
If you are visiting Germany, you can see selected furniture and materials at our showroom in Hennef near Cologne and Bonn. Visits are by prior appointment only, arranged by email or phone. Tell us which models you would like to see so we can confirm what is on display.
Frequently asked questions about glass tables
What types of glass tables can I choose from?
The collection includes coffee tables, side tables, nightstands, desks and dining tables. Start with the purpose of the table, then compare the models within that category. Shapes, dimensions, storage and finishes vary by design.
Does a glass table work in a small room?
A clear glass surface leaves the floor and surrounding furniture visible, which can help a table feel less visually prominent. Its actual footprint still matters. Choose dimensions that leave comfortable routes through the room rather than relying on transparency to make an oversized table fit.
Can I use a glass dining table as a desk?
That can work, depending on the model and your routine. Check table height, legroom, the distance to your screen and where the cables will go. For regular computer work, plan the chair and lighting together with the table.
What is the difference between float glass and Optiwhite?
Conventional float glass has a more visible green tint, especially at the edges. Optiwhite is low-iron glass with a reduced tint and a more neutral appearance. The choice affects the visual character of the table; it does not by itself establish the strength or load capacity of the finished furniture.
Is every table available in every glass type and color?
Standard choices depend on the model and its construction. The product configurator shows the available collection options. If you need another color, finish or size, send us your requirements so we can assess a custom version.
Can you make a glass table to my dimensions or my own design?
Yes. We discuss custom sizes, colors and combinations of glass, wood and metal, as well as original designs. Send us a sketch or reference images and your approximate dimensions. We will review how the table can be made and prepare an individual offer based on the agreed details.
Can I order a glass table from the United States or the UK?
Yes. You can order collection pieces directly in our online store. Check the delivery page for the terms, shipping charges and service available for your destination. For a custom table, contact us first to agree the design and offer.
How do I care for a glass tabletop?
Remove loose grit before cleaning, use non-abrasive materials and follow the instructions for your chosen surface. Use suitable protection under hot dishes and avoid sliding rough objects across the top. Lacquered areas, wood and metal may require different care. See our glass cleaning guide for more advice.
