Client: Resident | Central Park West, New York

Venue: Penthouse overlooking Central Park West

We designed a custom glass pool table for a stunning penthouse overlooking Central Park West, New York. The client, in collaboration with Reitveld Architects, wanted a table that would blend seamlessly with the sleek, modern aesthetics of the space while offering a unique and playful experience for their family.

The concept was inspired by transparency and contemporary elegance, featuring a clear glass play surface complemented by a painted steel frame that matched the penthouse's existing steel railings. We incorporated multicolor LED lighting to add a vibrant, customizable visual effect, enhancing the play experience and giving the table a distinctive character.

The table is constructed with a combination of painted steel and tempered glass, ensuring both durability and sophistication. A standout feature is the patented glass play surface, which adds an unparalleled modern touch. Additionally, a unique ball return system was integrated, keeping the design both functional and sleek. The client requested a custom ping pong tabletop that could be added, making the table versatile for different family activities.

The installation presented some challenges, particularly the need to walk the glass play surface up to the penthouse due to its size not fitting in the building's elevators. However, our Manhattan white glove billiard installers ensured the delivery was smooth, and the glass remained undamaged throughout the process.

The client was thrilled with the final product, and the pool table achieved the intended design goal, serving as a focal point for family entertainment. The sleek glass surface, customizable LED lighting, and custom ping pong tabletop made it a perfect addition to the penthouse, creating a modern yet playful atmosphere for their children and guests.
