This reception desk was designed to fit the neighborhood in which the art gallery is located. It had an old craftsman-style vibe. We created a glass grid inset across the top of the desk to achieve this look. The gallery owner wanted an L-shaped desk with custom storage to fit everything she needed to conduct business—a place for bags, the cash drawer, and paper to wrap fragile items.
The desktop has a hidden drawer that pulls out for her to store packing paper and create a platform to set items on to be wrapped.
The challenge with L-shaped cabinets and desks is the dead space in the corner. To prevent this dead space, I created a lighted display area to show off products.
The desk is made from cherry and features a glass check writing stand.
