Reception Desk and Panel

Highly bespoke reception desk and decorative metal panel for Arteks Sales office, Sofia

For Arteks, one of the most prominent, design-build-investors in the Sofia Region, a highly bespoke reception desk was developed for their Sales office.

The desk, which is currently being manufactured, is made of Dupont and features a vibrant, carefully designed parametric pattern. The design was developed with every detail in mind - seating position, room for internal structure, shadow gaps for LED lighting, experience from all sides of approaching the reception desk.

To aide the presentation, 360° VR images were developed to properly allow the client to "feel" the space at full scale.

Furthermore, a stone CNC carved panel was developed with a similar pattern at the entrance lobby, presented below

The Decorative Stone Panel contains a highly concise and precisely developed pattern, tested via numerous iterations. VR 360° images were developed and presented to allow the client to "feel" the proper scale of the space and the design with Oculus VR goggles. The immersive experience helped the client pick the most appropriate design.

The design process involves viewing the Reception Desk from all important angles at the same time. This is only possible with advanced 3d modelling software that shows any sudden change appearing from all important angles. This type of design workflow significantly improves the final product.
