Floating Countertop: A Light Underside

The main body of the reception desk is an 80mm thick countertop, cantilevered 800mm from the back wall, with no support underneath, 1050mm from the floor. A linear light is hidden 100mm below the countertop, washing light onto the floor, making the entire countertop appear to float. The countertop is made of seamless solid surface material, in a warm off-white color, with a small 3mm chamfer on the front edge. The back wall is a dark wooden grille, which is interrupted at the height of the countertop, forming a horizontal division. The work area is completely behind the wall, so no computers, wires, or drawers are visible from the front. The floor is dark terrazzo, reflecting the light from below. Avoid: placing cabinets or supports under the countertop, adding a corporate logo, making the front edge of the countertop thick and heavy, using high color temperature cool white light.

接待台的主體是一道厚 80mm 的檯面,由背後的牆懸挑出來 800mm,底下完全沒有支撐,離地 1050mm。檯面下方 100mm 處藏一道線型燈,往地面洗出一片光,讓整個檯面浮起來。檯面是無縫的實體面材,顏色是溫暖的米白,前緣做 3mm 的小導角。背牆是深色的木格柵,格柵在檯面的高度中斷,形成一道水平的分割。工作區完全在牆後,從正面看不到任何電腦、線路或抽屜。地坪是深色磨石,把底部的光反射出來。避免:檯面下方設置櫃體或支撐、加入企業標誌、檯面前緣做厚重的收邊、燈光使用高色溫的冷白。
