Glass Pool Table

On the website of Nottage Design you can find the world’s first and only transparent pool table. This unique glass pool table is a design of Craig Nottage as part of an assignment in his final year of Industrial Design. The G-1 pool table is not just a concept but really exists and can be ordered online for 25,000 US dollars.

The G1 pool table is designed and produced in Australia. The designer Craig Nottage replaced the standard slate bed with a 15mm thick glass top. It has a playing surface made out of a patented resin material, called Vitrik. At Nottage Design they claim that it gives the same resistance as a felt topped pool table. Because the pool table is almost completely transparent you can also see its modern metal frame with integrated ball return. Together with the transparent pool table you’ll also get 2.25” balls, a triangle, 2 matching silver cues and a bridge stick.
