The project:
A business wanted a feature foyer reception desk but didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars on a custom-built unit. I transformed a standard white desk into a custom-looking feature piece by cladding the front and sides with white melamine, incorporating a VJ panel design and a custom-cut oval feature around the VJ panels. The end result was a stylish, high-end reception desk that achieved the desired look at a fraction of the cost.
