Collection Story
Empire’s Designer Reception Furniture combines minimalism and grandeur
Adding a touch of luxury is easy with Empire’s range of Designer Reception Furniture. With myriad colours and sizes to choose from, each product in this range also showcases a unique feature. From the timber-batten look of Ink-Line groove melamine to marble-style panels, these products are sure to awe and inspire your visitors.
Special features
The Designer Reception Furniture range showcases many unique features to captivate visitors.
Ink-Line Groove melamine creates the illusion of a timber batten look, providing texture in a minimalist way. Available in all of the standard melamine colours.
Applies to all products except Sirius and Polaris.
AbsoluteMatte laminate is a tactile surface which delivers fingerprint resistance and durability in an ultra-matte feel. Available in black or white.
Only applies to Hilton and Sirius.
LED strips are a simple but effective way to light up a reception area with splendour.
Applies to the Hilton and Astoria, this feature is sure to add a 5-star feel.



A Marble-look melamine creates a lavish and classical look to enthrall visitors. This lustrous panel perfectly contrasts the timber-like Ink-Lines.
Applies to the Ritz reception desk.
Reiterate brand awareness with a logo front panel. The panel can also be kept blank as a way to break up the Ink-Line melamine, making this counter pop.
Applies to the Conrad counter.
Add a sense of privacy with a sleek, subtle addition of a curved privacy panel.
Applies to the Conrad counter.



Reception Desks
If you are looking to give your reception area an aura of luxury, look no further than the Hilton, Astoria or Ritz. These desks range from 1800mm to 3000mm in width and each have the option of showcasing the unique Ink-Line Groove melamine.



Reception Counters
For a standing reception counter option, the customisable Conrad is a fantastic option. The optional front panel serves as a way to wow your visitors upon entry with your company’s logo, or simply as a sleek white slate to break up the eye-catching Ink-Link Grooves.


Storage
To compliment the grandiose design of the Desks and Counters, the Designer Furniture also features storage options. To further fill your reception area with splendour, why not also add a magnificent credenza or console?



Coffee Tables
To further flesh out the opulence of a designer reception area, a unique coffee table is the cherry on top. Like reception desks and counters, the Liberica’s melamine top is available in each of the same finishes. Regard also the rounded triangular design of the Excelsa, or the Oliver’s demi-bullnose edge and solid oak legs.



Veneer Tables
Accompanying the minimalstic, modern rusticism of the Designer Furniture range, oak veneer tables are also available. For instance, the Ariel oval meeting table with an eye-catching yet subtle cross design on its top. Or even consider the Pillar dry bar table with its luxurious and sturdy cylindrical legs.





Finishes
The Designer Reception Furniture showcases a huge range of melamine colours. These are standard colours which apply to both Ink-Line and regular smooth melamine. But don’t forget – Empire can quote these products in many, many more finishes. Enquire for more information.
Note that these finishes do not apply to the veneer tables.
