Reception Desk

A reception desk is the centrepiece of your entrance. It’s the first touchpoint for clients, partners, and guests—setting the tone for everything that follows. At Chisels Play, we design and build bespoke reception desks that harmonise with your interior concept and elevate first impressions. Crafted to your specifications, our desks unite refined aesthetics with day‑to‑day practicality for busy front‑of‑house teams.

Why choose a bespoke reception desk?

A standard counter rarely fits a unique space or brand. A custom reception desk enables you to control every detail: dimensions, geometry, materials, storage, lighting, and technology integration. The result is a statement piece that:

  • Expresses your brand with considered forms, finishes, and detailing. A reception desk can mirror your brand identity through colour, shape, and even subtle logo integration.

  • Fits perfectly within the architectural plan, improving flow and sightlines. Whether you need a compact counter for a boutique space or an expansive island for a busy lobby, we adapt to the layout.

  • Works hard for staff with ergonomic heights, concealed cable management, and organised storage. Efficiency behind the desk translates to a smoother welcome for every guest.

  • Stands the test of time through precision manufacturing and premium materials. Built for heavy daily use, our desks retain their elegance long after installation.

Materials & craftsmanship

We curate materials to complement your project’s character and performance requirements. Our options include:

  • Timber: oak, walnut, ash, or maple—book-matched and hand-finished for warmth and texture.

  • Metals: powder-coated steel, brushed stainless, or brass accents for modern or industrial detail.

  • Lighting & detail: integrated LED, logo inlays, privacy panels, and acoustic elements for added function and atmosphere.

Every Chisels Play reception desk is engineered with robust joinery, high‑end hardware, and meticulous finishing—combining CNC precision with artisanal handwork for a flawless result.

A seamless process for designers & architects

We collaborate closely with interior designers and architects, following a structured workflow that ensures clarity and precision:

  1. Brief & discovery – Space review, brand cues, functional requirements.

  2. Concept & visuals – Sketches/3D views, material boards, and cost guidance.

  3. Technical development – Shop drawings, samples, and value‑engineering where appropriate.

  4. Fabrication & finishing – Precision build, quality control, and pre‑assembly checks.

  5. Delivery & installation – Careful logistics and a tidy hand‑over on site.

This end‑to‑end approach ensures your reception desk arrives on time, on budget, and exactly as envisioned.

Collaboration with professionals

We understand the workflows of design professionals and make integration smooth by providing:

  • CAD drawings and detailed technical documentation

  • Material samples for design boards and client presentations

  • Clear communication and updates to align with project schedules

We act as a partner, not just a supplier—ready to accommodate tight deadlines, complex specifications, and ambitious design visions.

  • Corporate offices and studios seeking a professional first impression

  • Hotels, hospitality, and member clubs needing signature front-of-house pieces
