Antiocheia Reception Desk

Antiocheia is a long reception desk drawn for an office entrance. Its front is made of solid oak slats with vertical grooves along the whole length. A dark, veined stone counter at standing height runs across the top, with a small return at its left end. At the right end the counter steps down to desk height and continues as a single block of dark stone. A dark plinth sits recessed below, and a thin shadow line runs under the counter. It takes its name from Antiocheia, the ancient city in Hatay, today's Antakya. We make it in our factory in Istanbul. The low stone section is at a height where a visitor in a wheelchair, or a guest who wants to sit and fill in a form, can write comfortably; the tall counter is for greeting people standing. The stone surfaces are impregnated and wipe clean. The oak slats make the front forgiving of knocks and fingerprints. Because the plinth is recessed, the mop goes under the desk and a stray foot does not mark the front. It stands in the entrance hall opposite the door or at the lift exit. Oak tone, stone and size are chosen at order, and we plan the computer, cable and paper layout with the receptionist. The desk is shipped in sections and assembled on site.
