Merian Glass Side table

Considered Design

The Merian Glass side table from Capital is all about contrast handled with restraint. A fluid upper surface settles over a solid base, so the piece feels light yet grounded at the same time. The round top is gently contoured, catching light in soft curves rather than sharp reflections. Nothing shouts, but every angle has a clear intention, giving the table a calm, contemporary character that works easily with both clean-lined and more classic seating.

Materials & Build

At the center is the bronzed fused glass top, created through an exclusive artisanal process. This gives the surface a subtle depth, with tone and transparency layered together rather than sitting flat. The refined metallic finish pairs with a sturdy lacquered base, playing up the difference between cool glass and solid color. Together they create a table that feels visually light yet reassuringly substantial in the room.

The structure is compact but weighty, at roughly 95 pounds. It feels stable by design, not fragile, and it is meant to be lived with, not tiptoed around.

Comfort in Use

Standing at about 20.3 inches high and 22 inches in diameter, the table sits comfortably beside a sofa or lounge chair. The height keeps drinks, books, or a small lamp within easy reach, without blocking sightlines across the room. And because the glass top is round and smooth, there are no sharp corners to navigate around in tighter spaces.

Placement & Lifestyle

This piece slots neatly into living areas, reading corners, or a more formal sitting room. It works as a single accent or as a pair flanking a large sofa. The character of the bronzed glass shifts subtly with the light, so it feels different by day and by evening, without demanding attention. The Capital aesthetic is present but not overpowering; it supports the room rather than taking it over.

Longevity

With its solid lacquered base and substantial glass top, the Merian Glass table is built to stay put and stay in use. The materials are chosen for resilience as much as appearance, and the simple round silhouette avoids trends that date quickly. It is the kind of side table that can move from one setting to another over time and still feel right at home.
