Pay attention to the reception desk: it's the beating heart of office design

Real estate investment company Pitalia has relocated its headquarters from Bolton in Lancashire to Oxford Court in Manchester city centre.

The 3,200 square foot office is set over three floors and occupies a prime location ideal for the company to develop its portfolio.

The client wanted the reception desk to be the sculptural centrepiece of the new business HQ so it needed to have instant wow factor.

Designers and fabricators Gresham Office Furniture selected HIMACS solid surface material in Steel Concrete G555 for the desk and the top of the credenza unit behind it.

The designers were impressed with the product's robustness and the choice of on-trend colours.

Part of the Himacs Concrete Collection, Steel Concrete is available in 6mm, 9mm and 12mm thicknesses and offers a sleek, contemporary look and feel. 

Working closely with the client, Gresham also designed the storage solutions, boardroom tables and seating.
