Glass Desks
Glass desks combine a clearly defined work surface with a lighter visual presence, which allows them to integrate into varied interior settings. Tempered glass is adapted for daily use and is available in transparent, frosted or tinted finishes. Bases in steel or aluminium provide stability, while the material contrast contributes to a balanced and functional construction.

Glass Desks
Nordiska Galleriet's range of desks includes models in various materials, sizes, and designs. Here you'll find both compact desks for smaller workspaces and larger work tables with generous tabletops.
The assortment includes wooden desks and desks with drawers, where the choice of materials contributes to both function and expression. The different designs make it possible to choose a desk adapted to both needs and environment.
Materials and Construction
Glass desks are often made from tempered glass, which is more durable than ordinary glass and better suited for daily use. The material is resistant to both load and temperature changes, and if broken, it shatters into small pieces.
The glass can be transparent, frosted, or tinted depending on the model. Transparent glass provides an open and clear expression, while frosted or tinted glass creates a more subdued surface.
Bases are usually made of metal, such as steel or aluminum, which provides stability and a clear contrast to the lightness of the glass. Surface treatments vary between chromed, powder-coated, and brushed finishes. Some models also combine glass with wooden details.
Design and Function
The design of glass desks varies from simple to more elaborate models, where glass is combined with stable bases for a balanced construction.
Brands like Glas Italia and Knoll work with glass in combination with materials such as steel, resulting in desks with clean lines and a distinct expression.
The Florence Knoll Mini Desk, designed by Florence Knoll in 1961, features a rectangular top and a chromed steel base. Folio from Glas Italia, designed by Yabu Pushelberg, is made from a curved glass sheet that forms the entire construction and highlights the material's properties.
Function and Areas of Use
Glass desks are used in both home offices and public environments where there is a need for a clear and functional workspace. They appear in studies, offices, as well as in environments like living rooms and hallways, where they can be integrated with other interior decor. The combination of glass and stable bases makes them suitable for daily use.
