Real reception and waiting area environment

Office reception desks are the counter and service point that welcome clients and visitors — the first physical point of contact with your brand. They are chosen according to visitor traffic and the visual identity the company needs to project from the entrance. Línea Italia builds them to measure with custom finishes and fronts.

FAQs

What You Should Know About Corporate Reception Desks.

We answer the most common questions about reception desks: configurations, heights and finishes.

Straight, L-shaped or two-level reception desk? +

A straight reception desk is clean and direct, ideal for welcoming visitors in compact spaces. An L-shaped configuration adds work surface and storage for the receptionist. A two-level desk combines a tall front panel, which gives the workstation privacy, with a lower service surface at the visitor's level. The choice depends on the size of the lobby and visitor traffic.

How high should the service counter and the work surface be? +

As a reference, the inner work surface is usually at desk height, around 75 cm (30 in), so the receptionist can work comfortably seated, and the public service counter between 1.05 and 1.10 m (41-43 in), so visitors can rest documents while standing. It is also worth including a lower section to serve people in wheelchairs.

Can the reception desk include built-in storage? +

Yes. The counter can incorporate storage behind the front and be combined with matching filing cabinets, pedestals and accessories, so stationery, packages and personal items stay out of visitors' sight.

Which finishes best withstand the daily use of a reception desk? +

The service surface takes friction, documents and objects all day long, so a durable, easy-to-clean top is the best choice. The front, on the other hand, is the most visible part and can be customized with a finish or with panels that define the service area.

What is the difference between the Anzio and Italia reception desks? +

Anzio offers modern single-user reception desks, a compact solution for medium-sized lobbies, in a straight or two-level configuration. Italia is a modular line designed for corporate offices, with options for a two-level counter, front panels and built-in storage. Both integrate with the rest of the furniture in their line.

Are these reception desks suitable for medical offices or institutions? +

Yes. Besides corporate offices, they are used in medical offices, institutions and customer-facing businesses, whether for customer service, corporate visits or internal reception. Because it is custom-built, the counter adapts to the way each place operates.
