Materials Matter

Reception desks shape first impressions — they’re the everyday meeting point between people and place. Their materials matter not just for looks, but for performance, repairability, and longevity.

Our journey began by addressing the waste and inefficiency of traditional fabrication. We developed a modular furniture system that offers architects and designers flexibility: components can be replaced, reconfigured, or repaired — extending a desk’s lifespan and reducing waste.

Here’s how that philosophy takes form in some of our most celebrated designs:

KIN — The Purity of Solid Surface
Seamless and sculptural, Kin is made from solid surface material that can be refinished and repaired over time, maintaining its smooth, continuous form for years.

BLOK — Architectural Presence in Hot-Rolled Steel
Blok showcases the raw beauty of stabilised hot-rolled steel, with natural veining that develops character as it ages. Despite its monolithic look, its modular core enables easy installation and flexibility in finish.

JOIN — Warmth, Craft and Tactility
Join blends timber, solid surface, and metal for a refined, handcrafted aesthetic. Designed with soft curves, oak accessories, and integrated storage, it balances durability with natural warmth.

LAYER — Adaptability as a Material Strategy
Layer redefines longevity through modularity. Clip-on panels allow materials — timber, metal, textile, or solid surface — to be swapped or upgraded without replacing the structure, creating a circular, future-ready system.

TEJO — Cork, Circularity and Craft (Coming Soon)
Formed entirely from cork waste, Tejo embraces renewable materials and low-impact production. Lightweight, resilient, and tactile, it’s a sustainable evolution of the reception desk. Together, these designs tell a story of innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability — reimagining how reception spaces look, feel, and last.
