Buying Guide
Specifying Public & Common Areas Furniture
- Design for scale, not showroom dimensions
Double-height lobbies swallow standard-sized furniture. Sofas, chairs, and tables in these spaces often need to be upsized beyond typical hospitality dimensions so they read at scale from across the room and relate properly to the architecture surrounding them.
- Specify reception desks to operational reality
A reception desk has to accommodate monitors, printers, power, and guest sign-in. Coordinate with IT, security, and operations before drawing the desk, not after, to avoid cable chases and rework during the final construction push.
- Choose upholstery that survives public traffic
Lobby seating is used by people with luggage, wet umbrellas, coffee, and unknown intentions. Performance fabrics, leathers rated for contract use, and coated textiles with contract-grade abrasion testing are appropriate. Residential upholstery will not survive the first year of public occupancy.
- Allow circulation and ADA clearances around every piece
Lobbies are circulation spaces first and seating spaces second. Maintain the required accessible routes around every sofa, lounge chair, and table so that code compliance and wayfinding are not compromised by statement furniture placement.
- Protect floors from heavy oversized pieces
Statement sofas and feature tables carry significant point loads. Specify glides, felt pads, or protective bases appropriate to the stone, tile, or hardwood flooring so that the furniture does not scratch or indent the most expensive finish in the building.
Materials & Construction
What We Build It From
Lobby furniture typically uses hardwood veneer or stone tops over reinforced substrates for statement tables and reception desks, with kiln-dried hardwood frames on upholstered pieces. Reception desks integrate solid surface, quartz, or wood tops over steel or millwork substructure, with factory-coordinated power, data, and cable management. Upholstery on public lobby seating is specified for contract-grade abrasion and durability, using performance fabrics, contract leathers, or coated textiles. Frames and hardware are selected for continuous public-area use.
Frequently Asked
Questions About Public & Common Areas Furniture
Can you build a custom reception desk for our lobby?
Yes. We design and manufacture custom reception and concierge desks from architect or designer drawings, including integrated power, data, and cable management. Finishes can be matched to lobby millwork, stone, and adjacent architectural elements during shop drawing review.
How do you handle oversized furniture for double-height lobbies?
Oversized lounge seating and feature tables are built to custom dimensions in our shop and delivered in sections when needed to clear elevators and doorways. Final assembly happens on site, and pieces are engineered for reassembly if the lobby is ever reconfigured or refurbished.
What upholstery should we specify for a high-traffic public lobby?
Use contract-grade performance fabrics, coated textiles, or contract leathers with documented abrasion ratings appropriate for heavy public use. These materials clean up after everyday lobby incidents without staining and meet the flammability and durability standards required for public-area commercial furniture.
