What is acrylic glass?

Acrylic glass is drinkware made from acrylic plastic, offering a lightweight, durable, and shatterproof alternative to traditional glass. At Dims Studio, you’ll find acrylic glasses in a wide array of colors and shapes, carefully selected from curated brands that balance function and style. It’s not just about practical benefits – the vibrant colors and playful shapes make acrylic glass a perfect choice for adding a splash of color to your table setting without compromising on quality.

Materials and types of acrylic glass

Acrylic glass is made from methacrylate, a type of plastic known for its strength and clarity. It weighs much less than regular glass and withstands bumps and drops without shattering. At Dims Studio, you’ll especially find colorful drinkware from brands like Rice and &Klevering, where acrylic is used for everything from water glasses to wine and cocktail glasses. The surface is often polished to resemble real glass but feels lighter in hand. Acrylic is also BPA-free and recyclable, making it a more eco-friendly choice than disposable plastics.

Sizes and dimensions of acrylic glass

Acrylic glasses come in many sizes to suit both everyday use and celebrations. Classic drinking glasses typically hold 250-350 ml, while large water glasses can hold up to 450 ml. Heights range from about 8 cm for low glasses to 13 cm for tall ones, with diameters usually between 6 and 9 cm. Dims Studio also offers small acrylic glasses for children or shots, usually around 6 cm tall and holding 120 ml. Most acrylic glasses are dishwasher safe on the top rack, but hand washing is recommended to preserve clarity as long as possible.

Brand story: Rice, &Klevering, and Bloomingville

Dims Studio features acrylic glasses from some of the most influential brands in colorful tableware. Rice is known for its playful approach and signature color combos, making their acrylic glasses a hit for kids’ parties and summer gatherings. &Klevering from Amsterdam brings a more graphic and modern vibe with glasses often featuring patterns or textures. Bloomingville contributes Nordic-inspired shapes and soft pastels that easily mix with other materials on the table. All brands share a focus on durability, design, and the joy of setting a table with pieces that won’t break at the first mishap.

Use cases and styling tips for acrylic glass

  • Perfect for outdoor use – bring them on picnics, to the beach, or on the balcony without worrying about broken glass.
  • Great for families with kids, where safety is key but you still want color and fun at the table.
  • Use them as pops of color on an otherwise neutral table, or go all-in by mixing multiple shades for a festive look.
  • Combine acrylic glasses with classic glass wine glasses to break up the style and create a personal touch.
  • Acrylic glasses are also suitable for serving desserts, snacks, or small portions of soup as starters.

Interior styles and acrylic glass

Acrylic glasses fit into various decor styles. In colorful and eclectic homes, they’re a must-have, mixing well with ceramics and textiles in bold hues. In minimalist interiors, a few acrylic glasses in clear or muted tones add a playful contrast to the simple aesthetic. For Scandinavian interiors, choose acrylic glasses in pastels or transparent shades that complement light woods and natural materials. Acrylic glass also adds a retro touch, especially if you pick models with wavy or ribbed surfaces.
