G1: The World’s First Transparent Pool Table
February 1st, 2009 by BallerHouse
The G1 glass top pool table from Australia-based Nottage Design is an incredible fusion of modern styling and new technology. Featuring a patented transparent resin playing surface called Vitrik, the G1 plays just like a felt-topped table, only with a toughened glass top replacing the standard slate surface. According to the designer, the G1 creates a “stunning floating on air effect as the balls glide smoothly and quietly.” This unique glass pool table also incorporates an integrated ball return mechanism within its modern metal frame.
The transparent pool table concept was devised by Craig Nottage as part of an assignment during his final year of industial design courses at the University of South Australia.
We’ve got to give Nottage props. This is the most forward-thinking pool table we’ve ever come across. Priced at $39,900 Australian dollars (U.S. $25,150), the G1 glass pool table is also priced in line with many of the other top custom pool tables on the market.

[…] Pool tables come in all shapes and sizes, but until recently the technology and design of different brands has remained fairly uniform. But a one-of-a-kind design coming from Australian industrial design student Craig Nottage is changing all that, and revolutionizing the way some look at pool table technology. Its transparent surface is the result of replacing the usual slate with toughened glass and topping it with a patented transparent resin called Vitrik instead of the usual felt. It supposedly feels nearly the same to play on as any other pool table, plus you get the sensation of the balls floating on air as they roll across towards the pocket. $25,000 […]
