Project Information
The reception desk is entirely made of HI-MACS® in Alpine White, and has a strong impact on visitors, whilst the intersection of heights ensures the staff privacy and hides the storage spaces. The desk’s organic shapes were possible due to HI-MACS® extraordinary thermoforming properties and seamless joints. The nonporous smooth surface makes the countertop pleasant to touch and also resistant to intensive usage, not allowing bacteria or fungi to infiltrate and affect the material.
The incredible versatility of the material allowed the design of a continuous space from the curved shape of the reception desk to the sinuous line of the sitting area. Both of these furniture pieces have recessed plinths with LED illuminated, increasing the space and giving the impression that the objects levitate.
To give spaciousness to a small room, the vertical front of the reception is continued with a lateral cladding also made of HI-MACS® Alpine White. The painted MDF wall behind the desk is CNC processed with an elliptical shape pattern.
This project brings an innovation in the applicability of HI-MACS by making 5 negatoscopes. Being electrostatically inert, HI-MACS® was used in Alpine White version. Since the Lucent range allows the homogeneous passage of light through the surface, the screens for viewing radiographs were made of LED backlighted HI-MACS® Opal.
