A company’s reception area says a lot about the company and even more about how the company views visitors – be they customers, suppliers or prospective employees. Quality office reception furniture well maintained can contribute as much to a company’s image as the quality of goods or services that it provides.
Today, with high real estate costs, reception areas frequently serve more than one function. While their primary role is to receive visitors and make them feel at home, they can provide space for visitors and remotely based staff to conduct business. As such they can be called courtesy office facilities.
That is why space planners are fitting out reception areas with more than reception desks, says EQA Office Furniture’s Bruce Mallett. Comfortable seating tastefully arranged and comprising, for example, leather couches and chairs, end and coffee tables along with attractive illumination and other decorative elements, provide conversation areas. These facilities can be used for business that does not have to be conducted in private offices or cubicles.
Increasing in popularity is equipping reception areas with private or semi-private cubicles furnished with office chairs and work surfaces to function as an office on the fly or a touch down area. Equipped with access to the Internet, these offices can be used by visitors to connect their laptop and work while waiting for their appointment or by out-of-town employees as an office “hotel.”
